How to record a video from another program or an entire Chrome window (desktop record)? #
Desktop record was devised for recording a video from another program (like Photoshop or Skype). You can also record the entire Chrome window (usually you can only record what happens on a specific page).
1) In the Record video window choose Desktop and press Start Record.
