Screen Recorder Overview

Learn what the ProcessPro Screen Recorder is, how it works, and why it helps you create accurate process guides faster.

Written by James Ross

What is the Screen Recorder?

The Screen Recorder is a browser extension that captures your actions as you work through a process in your browser. It records each click, navigation, and input — turning your workflow into a structured set of steps with screenshots that can be imported directly into ProcessPro as a process guide.

Why Use the Screen Recorder?

Writing process guides manually is time-consuming and error-prone. The Screen Recorder eliminates the guesswork by:

  • Capturing every step — clicks, form entries, and page navigations are recorded automatically

  • Generating screenshots — each step includes a screenshot of what you did

  • Creating structured output — recordings export as step-by-step guides ready for import into ProcessPro

  • Reducing rework — no more going back to re-document a process you already know


How It Works

  1. Request ProcessPro to enable the Screen Recorder setting for your company.

  2. Install the Screen Recorder browser extension (Chrome or Edge)

  3. Start recording from ProcessPro Settings or while editing a process

  4. Perform your workflow — the extension watches and captures your actions

  5. Stop recording when you're done

  6. Review and edit the captured steps — crop screenshots, rewrite descriptions

  7. Import the recording into ProcessPro as a new process or add to an existing one

Note: The Screen Recorder captures browser actions only. Desktop applications, file uploads, and system-level interactions outside the browser are not recorded.


Browser Support

The Screen Recorder extension is available for:

  • Google Chrome — install from the Chrome Web Store

  • Microsoft Edge — install from the Edge Add-ons Store

Note: The extension is not available for Firefox or Safari. Recording requires a Chromium-based browser.
