Adding audio to your screen recordings can dramatically improve viewer engagement. Whether you're adding narration, capturing system sounds, or both, here's how to do it right.

## Types of audio you can capture

ScreenRecord.in supports three types of audio:

- **Microphone** — your voice and any audio from your mic
- **System Audio** — sound from applications, browsers, and your OS
- **Both** — combine mic and system audio for maximum impact

## Step 1: Enable audio sources

On the recording interface, toggle on:

- **Microphone** — for voice narration
- **System Audio** — to capture app sounds and music

## Step 2: Configure audio settings

Before recording, make sure:

- Your microphone is selected as the input device
- System audio is enabled in browser permissions
- Test audio levels by speaking and playing a sample sound

## Step 3: Start recording with audio

Click "Start Recording" or press `R`. Both your screen and audio will be captured simultaneously.

## Pro tips for audio recording

1. **Use headphones** — prevents audio feedback when recording system audio.
2. **Close noisy apps** — reduce background noise for cleaner recordings.
3. **Speak clearly** — maintain consistent volume and pacing.
4. **Test first** — do a 10-second test recording to check audio levels.

## Conclusion

Recording screen with audio opens up endless possibilities for tutorials, demos, and presentations. With ScreenRecord.in, you can capture both mic and system audio in just a few clicks.
