For recording online teaching sessions select Audio under the Remote section. To capture both online events and any sounds in the physical location you are in, choose Audio & Mic.

Choose Microphone to only record sounds from the physical location you are in.

Once you have selected Audio for an online teaching session, you then need to specify the location of the recording.

For live teaching and pre-recorded sessions make sure the lecture platform (e.g. MS Teams, Blackboard Collaborate) is launched in Chrome and select the Chrome Tab option. You then need to select the specific tab from the list provided.

Click the Share button.
