## Common Questions (FAQs)

**What can I record?** You can typically record your entire screen, a specific application window, or a single browser tab. The available options will be presented when you start the recording.

**Is there a time limit for recordings?** Yes, the modal shows a 'Time remaining' counter, which indicates the maximum duration for a single recording session (e.g., 30 minutes).

## Troubleshooting Tips

* **Recording Doesn't Start**: If the recording fails to initiate, ensure you have granted the necessary screen recording permissions in your browser's settings. You may need to refresh the page after granting permissions.
* **'Record' Button is Missing**: If you cannot find the 'Record' button, verify that you have the appropriate user role and permissions to create new knowledge articles.
