Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Forgetting to select the correct recording area
Reason: Recording only a portion of the screen, missing important visuals or content.
Solution: Ensure you select the entire screen or a specific window containing all necessary presentation elements before starting the recording.
2. Ignoring audio settings
Reason: Poor audio quality due to incorrect microphone selection or volume levels, making the presentation difficult to understand.
Solution: Check microphone selection, test audio levels, and use a headset for clearer audio.
3. Not reviewing the recording before sharing
Reason: Unintentional errors, technical glitches, or awkward moments remain unnoticed and shared with the audience.
Solution: Always review the recording for errors and make necessary edits before distributing it.
