Generate zoom regions from click activity so the important detail stays framed without extra manual editing.
Presentation polish
Device and browser framing
Wrap recordings in browser, laptop, tablet, or phone frames when the story needs more structure than a raw capture.

Use gradients, wallpapers, and custom backdrops to make async updates feel like finished communication, not leftovers.
Explanatory overlays
Annotations for complex workflows
Add text, arrows, and visual markers when a workflow needs explanation beyond cursor movement alone.
