Overview
The Harmonize Screen Recording feature enables you to share your screen directly within Harmonize and talk over a slide deck, presentation, or any other information you'd like to share. This feature is available to students and instructors via the Harmonize Editor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I am a Moodle user and I'm having trouble accessing the screen recording feature. Can you help?
-
It's likely that Moodle is preventing screen recording due to Harmonize being loaded into an iframe. We won't bore you with all the technical details, but opening Harmonize in a new tab should allow you to get around this LMS limitation.
Q. Is the screen recording feature available on mobile devices?
-
Not at this time. To use the screen recording feature, please access your Harmonize discussion from a desktop or laptop.
