Gyazo offers two modes for recording video.
Here is an explanation of their features and how to use them effectively.

1. What is Gyazo Video (Standard)?
It works just like a traditional video camera. You select the area you want to record, and it captures everything from the moment you press the record button until you hit stop.
Useful for:
Teaching someone how to use a software
Giving a long presentation or demonstration
Recording a planned sequence from start to finish
2. What is Gyazo Replay?
It works like a "dashcam" or a "time machine."
When Replay mode is active, Gyazo constantly buffers (temporarily memorizes) your most recent screen activity.
Recording Mechanism:
The moment you hit the "Save" button or Shortcut keys, it clips and saves the video from "30 seconds ago" up to the present moment.
Useful for:
Saving the exact moment an unexpected bug or error occurs
When you want to "catch" a great gaming moment after it just happened
When you don't want to record continuously, but want to be ready for a moment that could happen at any time
Regardless of which mode you use, your recordings will be uploaded to your Captures page just like your images.
