We're excited to present Screen Studio 3.0.0, a major update packed with new features. This release took us a lot of work over several months, and we can't wait for you to dive in and explore. Here's what's new:

Shareable Links

With a single click, you can now create a link for your Screen Studio videos and send it to others.

It simplifies the sharing process, eliminating the need for manual file transfers or compression.

You can create video intros with fullscreen camera or hide the camera entirely for portions of the video, allowing for more versatile and engaging content.
