Can You Record in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:26 am

Designers often ask if they can record in Figma. The answer is yes! You can use the Figma recording tool to create screencast tutorials, product demos, and more.

To record in Figma, simply click the Record button in the top bar. This will open the recording panel, where you can choose to record your entire screen or just a specific region. You can also choose to include audio from your microphone and/or your computer system audio.

PRO TIP: Figma is a design tool and, as such, is not built for recording. While you can technically record in Figma, it is not recommended as the quality will be poor and it will be difficult to edit your recording later on. If you need to record your screen, it is better to use a dedicated screen recorder.

Once you start recording, Figma will automatically create a new frame for your recording. You can then use the editor tools to annotate your recording, add transitions, and more. When you’re finished, simply click the Stop button and your recording will be saved as a video file.

So whether you’re creating a screencast tutorial or giving a product demo, Figma’s recording tool makes it easy to capture your work and share it with others.
