TIP OF THE FORTNIGHT

Delay your screen recordings in ShareX

I’ve been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com) to take screenshots since reading your Workshop on it in Issue 657 (page 38). It’s a great tool with lots of advanced features that are easy to learn.

One of its best features is the screen-recording function. I often record tasks on my screen to help fix PC problems that relatives and friends have, but I always need a few seconds to prepare myself. ShareX’s default is to start the recording straight away, but there’s a way of delaying this socan double-check you’ve got everything in place.
