Steps to Screen Record on Figma
Figma relies on its plugin ecosystem for extended functionalities like screen recording. A popular option for this is the Vimeo Record plugin. Follow these steps to get started:
- Right-click on the canvas: In your Figma file, right-click anywhere on the blank canvas area.
- Access Plugins: From the context menu that appears, select Plugins.
- Find Vimeo Record: Hover over the Plugins option, and then select Vimeo Record from the list of available plugins. (If you don't have it installed, you might need to search for it in the Community and install it first).
- Select Recording Mode: Once the Vimeo Record plugin interface opens, you will need to "Select Recording mode." The plugin offers flexible options for capturing your session.
Choosing Your Recording Mode
The plugin allows you to customize what you record:
- Screen: Records only your computer screen.
- Camera: Records only your webcam feed.
- Both Screen and Camera: Records both your screen activity and a small feed of your webcam simultaneously.
You can also choose to enable or disable sound during your recording.
- Select Screen to Record: Finally, you will be prompted to "Select a screen you want to record" if you have multiple displays connected. Choose the screen where your Figma window is located.
After following these steps, you can start your recording through the plugin interface. This allows you to easily create video walkthroughs, tutorials, or presentations directly from your Figma designs.
