    Recording Full Display

    Full Display Recording

    Full display mode captures everything on your screen using ScreenCaptureKit's display capture.

    1. Open the Recording Hub
    2. Select Display as the recording source
    3. If you have multiple displays, choose which one to record
    4. Click Record

    Multi-Display Support

    ScreenKite detects all connected displays and shows each as a separate option in the Recording Hub. The app tracks which screen contains your mouse cursor, making it easy to record the display you're currently using.

    Canvas resolution adapts automatically to the selected display, including proper handling of different scale factors across displays.

    Recording Options

    While recording a full display, you can optionally:

    • Include the menu bar — controlled by the "Include Menu Bar" setting (default: on)
    • Hide system icons — hides the clock, Wi-Fi, volume indicators (default: off)
    • Hide desktop files — removes desktop icon clutter during recording (default: off)
    • Hide ScreenKite itself — prevents ScreenKite windows from appearing in the recording (default: on)

    These options are configured in Settings → Recorder.
