How to get the Screen.studio look on Windows

Step 1
Install Clapio for Windows
Download the native Windows build — no macOS device or VM required.
Step 2
Record your screen, webcam, and audio
Capture the full screen or one window, with microphone and system audio, exactly like a Screen.studio session on a Mac.

Apply the cinematic treatment
Auto-zoom into clicks, smooth the cursor path, and add a background and device frame — the signature Screen.studio-style polish.
