Annotate your recordings

Bring your video recordings to life with our annotation tool

Step 1 - Start a recording

Once you've installed and pinned the Searchie Extension to your Chrome browser, click on the Searchie icon in the top-right corner of your browser. After clicking the icon, from the dropdown window that appears click Start Recording. 

If recording your screen, choose the screen and/or window to record in the next step. Click Share after you have made your selection to begin the recording.

Step 2 - The Annotation menu

Once the recording begins, click the Annotation icon on the far right of the Control Panel in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

Step 3 - Draw, erase, and point to information

Now that the annotation options are visible, you can start to draw and highlight things on your recording.

From left to right...

• The circle displaying a colour will allow you to choose a colour for the annotations.

• The pencil icon will give you the ability to draw free-hand in your chosen colour anywhere on your screen.

• The eraser icon can be used to delete anything drawn with the pencil.

• The arrow icon will let you drag and drop arrows around your recording to highlight specific areas of it. Check out the GIF below for a quick walkthrough of the various features.
