Overview

Use Screen Recording (Beta) to capture and record the screen of your mobile device during a SimCapture session. This feature is ideal for recording applications such as Monitor by Laerdal (TruMonitor) and including that display as part of your simulation recording.

Before You Begin

Make sure:

• Screen Recording (Beta) has been enabled for your organization.
• Ensure the SimCapture Mobile Camera app is updated to version 1.10.4 or later before starting a session.
• The SimCapture Mobile Camera app is open on your device before the session starts.
• You must have an active SimCapture Cloud account.
• The SimCapture Mobile Camera app must be open on the device before starting a session.

Start Your First Screen Recording Session

Step 1: Open the Mobile Camera App

On your mobile device, open the SimCapture Mobile Camera app.

Step 2: Start a Session

From SimCapture, open the Session Viewer and start your session as you normally would.

Step 3: Select Screenshare

On the pre-recording screen, tap Screenshare instead of using the device camera.

Step 4: Allow Screen Recording

Your device will prompt you to grant screen recording permissions.

Step 5: Confirm the Screen Feed

Once permission is granted, your device screen will appear as a live video feed in the SimCapture Session Viewer.

Step 6: Open the App You Want to Record

Navigate to the application you want to capture, such as Monitor by Laerdal (TruMonitor) .

Step 7: Start Recording

Return to the Session Viewer and start recording.

SimCapture will record everything displayed on the shared screen during the session.

Step 8: End the Session

When the session ends, screen recording automatically stops.

Audio During Screen Sharing

When using Screen Recording, audio is captured from the mobile device's built-in microphone.

If you do not want to record audio from the device, you can mute the feed within SimCapture Cloud.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep the mobile device unlocked during the session.
• Disable automatic screen sleep or auto-lock.
• Grant screen-recording permissions when prompted.
• Use a dedicated tablet for applications such as TruMonitor when possible.

Troubleshooting
