## Key features

- **Screenshots and scrolling capture:** Captures a region, window or full screen, and grabs long web pages, documents and spreadsheets in a single scrolling capture.
- **Step Capture:** Records each click as you walk through a process and turns the screenshots into a numbered guide that can be shared.
- **Annotation and themes:** Adds arrows, callouts, shapes, step markers and stamps, and applies a team's colors, fonts and styles through Themes.
- **Smart Redact:** Finds emails, phone numbers and card details in a capture and blurs or blocks them. The analysis runs locally on the device.
- **Screen recording:** Records the screen, webcam, microphone and system audio, then trims or combines clips, removes background noise or exports a GIF.
- **Library and sharing:** A searchable library keeps captures organized, and they can be shared by Screencast link or sent to apps such as Slack and Google Drive.

## Good for

- Technical writers and support teams documenting software
- Turning a clicked-through process into a step-by-step guide
- Quick annotated screenshots and short screen recordings

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan: after the 15-day trial it needs a yearly subscription, and TechSmith does not offer monthly billing.
- Individual subscriptions cannot be transferred; teams that need reassignable seats buy the Business license, priced per user per year.
- Available for Windows and macOS, and some features are tied to one of them, such as time-lapse and printer capture on Windows.
- Video tools stop at trimming and combining clips; TechSmith points people who need fuller editing to Camtasia Editor.
