Option Description
Narration Records audio as you record the project. You cannot enable camera sounds or keyboard tap
sounds when you have chosen narration for a project.
Actions in real time Record actions using their actual speed.
Camera sounds A “camera shutter” sound is played whenever a screenshot is captured during recording. It is
helpful to turn on this sound so you know exactly when a screenshot is captured, especially
when using the autorecording feature. The camera sound is not included in the finished project.
Keystrokes Records keyboard actions like typing text on the screen. Adobe Captivate records keyboard
input, but does not create a slide for every character that is typed.
Hear keyboard tap sounds Determines whether keyboard press sounds are audible during recording. The keyboard press
sounds are not included in the finished project.
Hide recording window The red border of the recording window is not displayed during recording.
Hide Task icon Hides the task icon during recording.
This option is available only on Windows.
Hide system tray icon Hides the system tray icon during recording. This icon is the small Adobe Captivate icon that is
displayed in the system tray in the lower-right corner of the computer screen. Use this option if
you do not want to record the icon when recording the project.
