There is no progress bar, and you can even close Camtasia Relay Recorder. To ensure your presentations are uploaded in the shortest time, keep your system connected to the internet until you receive the Presentation Published email.

 

Possible Uses

Screen recording can be used to record self-supporting lectures. You can display your presentation slides (or anything else that can be shown on screen) and record your narration. You can also do short video tutorials to talk about websites or show how a particular software is used.

Differences with Breeze

You might notice that screen recording sounds similar to Breeze. However, there are several key differences:

• Windows or Mac
  Camtasia Relay works on both Windows or Mac. It even works straight from a thumbdrive on either OS. On the other hand, Breeze is a PowerPoint add-in on Windows only.
• You can display anything for recording
  Screen recording allows you to capture anything on that is displayed on your computer screen, whether it is presentation slides, a website or a particular software. On the other hand, Breeze is limited to displaying PowerPoint on Windows, although Breeze allows for some basic interactivity such an simple quizzes.
