From the YuJa Media Library, click the Create Recording button in the top-center of the screen.

If you include Screen in your recording options, you'll be prompted to select a source for your screen recording. If you're unfamiliar with selecting a share source, this page outlines how this works in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

Choose whether or not you want to include audio recording.

If you have more than one microphone available (for example, if you are wearing a headset and want to make sure the headset microphone is selected), click the "Default - " pulldown beneath the microphone icon and select an appropriate microphone.

Similarly, under Video choose whether to turn on your camera, and choose the camera you want to use (if necessary) from pull-down menu beneath the camera button.
