Record Your Screen, Camera, and Mic Simultaneously with a Record Room
This MarketScale training shows how to enable screen share inside a Studio record room so your screen, camera, and mic are captured as independent tracks.

Hey, everybody. We're back with another tip. We're gonna be going through how to set up a recording room and actually share your screen while you're recording. So the cool part is about the recording rooms is not only are you able to get your video and audio feed, but you're able to also get your shared screen if you'd like to have that be recorded as well. So what I'm gonna show let me share my screen here. When you're in the platform, you'll jump over to record. I've already actually created my room. If you're creating a fresh room, you do it right up here at the top. So we're gonna jump into my new room. It's gonna test my webcam and my microphone. So you'll go ahead and do, your equipment test. I'm now gonna enter the room. And now you will see yourself in your recording room. So you've got your key options here at the bottom if you wanted to toggle between different webcams and microphones, if you'd like to do that. You can even switch your output as well if you're having a conversation with other individuals, you wanna change your speakers. But right to the right of that actually is where you will see share screen. So you'll click on that and you can toggle it between tab or window or even the entire screen if you'd like. And that makes it really easy. Again, what this enables you to do is not only get your audio and webcam, but you can share a slide deck. You can share some other kind of presentation material. It will capture that completely separately, from your webcam and audio. It's great for anytime you need to do, any kind of presentation based content. So it's super easy and quick. This is exactly how you're gonna do it. Nice nice and easy. Thanks.
Overview
In this 1:53 walkthrough, contributor Erik Hollen demonstrates how to activate screen sharing inside a MarketScale Studio recording room. The video covers everything from creating or entering an existing room and completing the equipment check, to selecting the correct screen capture option and understanding how each source is recorded as its own isolated track. It is a practical, step-by-step guide for anyone who needs to record a presentation, product demo, or slide-based session alongside their webcam and audio.
What Is This?
A Studio record room is a browser-based recording environment within the MarketScale platform that captures your webcam, microphone, and shared screen as separate, independently editable media tracks in a single session.
What You'll Learn
- Create or enter an existing Studio record room
- Complete the equipment test to confirm your webcam and microphone are active
- Locate and activate the Share Screen button in the bottom-right corner of the room
- Choose between tab, window, or full-screen capture modes to match your content
- Understand how screen capture is recorded as a track independent from your camera and audio feed
- Apply this workflow to slides, software demos, or any presentation-based recording
Key Insights
- Screen capture, webcam video, and microphone audio are stored as completely separate tracks, giving editors full flexibility in post-production.
- The Share Screen button appears in the bottom-right corner of the record room and is accessible only after the equipment test is passed.
- Three capture modes — browser tab, application window, and full screen — let you control exactly what your audience sees.
- This multi-track approach is particularly effective for product demos, training content, and slide presentations where visual context is as important as the speaker.
Deep Dive
Recording screen content alongside a webcam and microphone feed is one of the most common requirements for B2B training and presentation video. The challenge with many recording tools is that all sources are flattened into a single file, which severely limits what editors and producers can do after the fact. MarketScale Studio solves this by treating each source — screen, camera, and mic — as a discrete track that can be adjusted, replaced, or repurposed independently.
The workflow begins before you ever click record. Entering the record room and completing the equipment test ensures your webcam and microphone are correctly detected and functioning. Skipping this step is a common source of failed recordings, so the platform makes it a required checkpoint. Once the test is complete, the room is ready and the Share Screen option becomes available.
Clicking Share Screen in the bottom-right corner of the room opens a browser-native dialog that lets you choose what to capture. Selecting a specific browser tab keeps your capture clean and prevents accidental exposure of other open applications. Choosing an application window is useful when you need to demonstrate software without switching away from the browser. Full-screen mode is best reserved for presentations that span the entire display.
Because the screen recording exists as its own track, producers can later swap out slides, extend a segment, or adjust the timing of the visual content without touching the speaker's camera footage or audio. This architecture reflects a professional broadcast standard and makes Studio record rooms a dependable choice for recurring content formats like product training series, executive briefings, and customer education programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share my screen without enabling my webcam in a Studio record room?
The equipment test requires both a webcam and microphone to be confirmed before the room is fully active, so both sources are expected to be present at the start of a session. However, camera visibility can be managed during editing since each track is independent. If you have specific capture requirements, consult your MarketScale platform administrator for guidance.
Will screen sharing slow down or degrade my video and audio recording quality?
MarketScale Studio records each source separately, which means screen capture processing does not compete directly with your webcam or microphone encoding in the same output file. Performance can vary based on your device hardware and browser, so closing unnecessary background applications before recording is always a good practice. Running the equipment test beforehand also helps surface any performance issues before they affect a live session.
What is the difference between recording a tab, a window, and the full screen?
Tab capture records only the content within a single browser tab, which is ideal for web-based slide decks or online tools and prevents other applications from appearing. Window capture records one specific application window, which is useful for software demonstrations where you need to interact with a desktop program. Full-screen capture records everything visible on your monitor and is best suited for presentations where content spans the entire display.

Once you are comfortable with multi-track screen recording, exploring how to set up and manage Studio record rooms for recurring series is a natural next step. Topics such as organizing recorded tracks in the MarketScale media library, publishing finished videos to a channel, and using the platform's editing tools to sync screen and camera footage will help you build a complete end-to-end production workflow.
