# Creating a video recording

{% hint style="info" %}
You can create a video recording on a desktop device or VR headset.
{% endhint %}

1. Open your menu or tablet, and then select <img src="/files/0WyipQUWwWkSj6aYf4gs" alt="" data-size="line"> **Recording**.
2. On the **Recording** page, select the <img src="/files/U1XVSs76HLLUTIXdltUw" alt="" data-size="line"> **Video** tab.
3. **Optional**: From the **Resolution** list, select a resolution for the recorded video.
4. **Optional**: From the **Capture Source** list, select a source to record. The default selection is your avatar's point of view.
5. **Optional**: Turn on **Preview** to see the current view from the chosen capture source.
6. Select ![](/files/3N4oKDeH4ubqkAE08hzh).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have multiple capture sources, you can use the **Capture Source** list to switch between them while you are recording. For instructions on how to add capture sources, see [Adding a video camera](/engage/advanced-features/recordings/video-recording/adding-a-video-camera.md).
{% endhint %}

The application starts recording video. The Record button is replaced with the following controls:

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Control</th><th>Descriptions</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><img src="/files/OjDu9N0M45P7nH2URqjJ" alt=""></td><td>Pause the recording.</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/HJd9oOilj7O5VGxcJK2u" alt=""></td><td>Resume a paused recording.</td></tr><tr><td><img src="/files/3omVmT25QXNHtAUBuPZT" alt=""></td><td>Stop recording. The video file is saved to your device.<br><br>If you have access to Cloud File Manager, you will also have the option to copy it there.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/recordings/video-recording/creating-a-video-recording.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
