Video Recording / Screenshot Names

Record the target computer's screen.

You can record the target computer's screen and audio by clicking the "Start recording Kiwi video to a file" button or by going to Tools -> Record Audio/Video.

When the Cytrence Kiwi is recording video, the "Stop recording" button will replace the video recording button. Click this button to stop recording.

The recorded videos are in H264 format.

You can choose the directory where videos will be saved in the Settings -> Folders tab. The default directories are as follows for each platform:

• macOS: "Movies" folder in the user's home directory

• Ubuntu Linux: "Videos" folder in the user's home directory

• Windows: "Videos" folder in the user's home directory

You can customize how screenshot files are named. You can add a prefix to the file name and choose either a timestamp or a sequence number as the postfix.
