ShareX Settings

Text Extraction

    Set Ctl + O to activate


Record Video & Audio

    Video works by default but including audio requires adjustments.

You will probably need to get ffmpeg.exe and enter the path

    Right click & select "Task settings . . .

    Select "Screen recorder"

    Select "Screen recording options"


Check "Use custom FFmpegpath" it should already be in the ShareX folder.
Install recorder devices is not intuitive but you are not looking for anything. Just accept the defaults.
When "install recorder devices" works you will get the Ready to Install dialog.
    virtual-audio-capture will be a source option
Go the the Hotkeys section.
    Set maybe F2 (or some unused key) for hotkey to start/stop recording.
        Using a hot key make things much easier to control.




Record Audio Only
(If desired for some reason)
Go to the Hotkey Settings

Edit the task settings

Then edit the Recorder settings

Then edit the screen recorder options

Copy to Clipboard
    In after capture tasks activate "copy file to clipboard". Then you can paste the image after capture.
It would seem natural to chose "copy image to clipboard" but that does nothing that I can tell.
