Note: This is a slide style web page. You can use your mouse scroll wheel to turn pages back and forth, or you can use the UP and DOWN key on your keyboard to do so.

Step 1: Run the auto-configuration wizard

When you load Ultra Screen Recorder for the first time you should see the Auto-Configuration Wizard. If you're new to Ultra Screen Recorder or just want to get started as quickly as possible, follow the steps to get good starting settings for your setup. If you only see the main Ultra Screen Recorder window, you can access the Auto-Config Wizard in the Tools menu at the top. This wizard will automatically test your system and attempt to find settings that your PC can handle. This includes streaming or recording, resolution, bitrate, encoder, streaming provider and more. You can always modify the settings manually later.

Step 2: Set up your audio devices

By default, Ultra Screen Recorder is set to capture your system default desktop audio device and microphone. You can verify this by looking at the volume meters in the mixer section of the main Ultra Screen Recorder window, and see if they are active. If they aren't moving, or you suspect the wrong device is being captured, click on Settings -> Audio and select the devices manually.

Step 3: Add your sources for video

Next, you'll see that the preview is a black screen. Ultra Screen Recorder does not capture any video by default. To get started capturing, you need to add a Source. At the bottom of the window is a box called 'Sources'. Click on the + (or right click inside the box) and pick the source you want. As a few examples, select Game Capture if you're capturing a game, Window for non-game applications, or Video Capture Device for a webcam or capture card.

Sources and Scenes are the bread and butter of Ultra Screen Recorder, and can be super powerful.

Step 4: Test your stream and record settings

Double check that all your settings are how you want them in Settings -> Output. Then, just hit Start Recording or Start Streaming. We strongly encourage running a test for a few minutes to make sure that there are no issues, rather than just jumping in to your first stream or recording.

Once you're satisfied, you can go on to creating great content. That's all there is to it.
