When recording a project, there are multiple options you can choose from. The default option selected is to include sound from your project. To get more options, click the text that says "More Options".

Include Sound From Project	This option will make sure that any sounds your project makes will be included in the recording. This includes sounds created from music blocks, music, etc.
Include Sound From Microphone	This option will make sure that any sounds from your microphone will be included in the recording. Your computer must have a microphone either built-in or plugged-in for this to work.

Record Entire Editor	This option will make sure that the entire editor is included in the recording. This includes the project player, script section, sprite section, etc. Warning: This may increase lag.
Record at Highest Quality	This option will make sure that your recording is at the highest quality. This means that your final recording will be clear and neat. Warning: This may increase lag.

Alternatives

This feature is very limited, so there are many third-party alternatives. Users can install screen recording software such as Activepresenter, Bandicam, or Screencast-o-matic.
