Can I Record Prototype in Figma?

Last updated on November 30, 2022 @ 5:01 am

Designers often ask whether they can record their Figma prototypes. The answer is yes! You can record your Figma prototypes using the built-in recording tool.

To record a Figma prototype:

1. Open the prototype in Figma. Then, go to the Prototype tab and select what device and orientation your prototype will be presented. Click the Play button once ready.

2. Next, click the Record button in the top-right corner of the screen. If there is none, you probably need to install a screen video recorder extension first. To do this, go to your browser’s web store and install the screen recording app of your choice to your browser.

3. After the installation, now you have a recording extension at the top-right corner of the screen that you can easily click and a recording window will instantly appear. Next, make sure to select the area of the screen you want to record before you hit the Start Recording button.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that recording a prototype in Figma may result in the disclosure of sensitive information. If you do record a prototype, be sure to keep it in a secure location and only share it with authorized personnel.
