FAQs
Why will my embedded padlet not allow me to use the Screen recorder feature?
If your embedded padlet will not allow you to screen record, you may just need to update the allow parameters within the embed code. Go to the embed code and look for the portion that says, "allow=". Change this manually by typing the following exactly as shown: allow="camera;microphone;geolocation;display-capture;clipboard-write"
Embed codes that were enabled prior to our Screen recorder being released need to be updated manually. New embed codes will already have the correct allow parameters.

Why do I keep getting a message to try in a different window?
Some LMSes have certain restrictions that will not allow screen recordings. The "Try again in another window" pop-up is to help you launch the Screen recorder within a browser instead.
