🖥️ Pick the exact screen or window
Choose screen now opens a real picker with live thumbnails of every display and every open window. Click the one you actually want to record.
What's new
A recorder that's finally ready for real use.
🎙️ System audio and your voice, together
Screen recordings now capture the sound coming out of your computer and your microphone in the same take, mixed automatically. Neither one silently disappears if you're using the other.
🙈 The recorder gets out of your shot
Press Record and the panel shrinks to a small bar — and on screen recordings, the Vistora window itself minimises — so neither one ends up inside your video. It waits until the last moment of the countdown, so you still see most of the count first.
🎬 Screen & voice — a screen-only mode
A new fourth mode for when you don't want a camera in the frame at all: just your screen and your microphone, with no camera picker cluttering the panel.
🎵 Add Audio Layer
An optional second audio track for your timeline, added only when you ask for it — from the Tools menu or by right-clicking the timeline. One track stays the default, since that's right for most edits.
📺 A proper 16:9 preview, every time
The screen-and-camera preview monitor is now true 16:9, with the camera overlay sized the same way it appears in your finished recording — no more squashed frame.
Fixed
The recorder went from working-in-theory to working.
🖥️ "Choose screen" ignored your choice
Whatever you picked in the old picker, Vistora recorded the primary screen anyway. Recording one specific window was impossible.
Now fixed: the new picker hands your exact choice straight
to the recording engine — pick a window, get that window.
🔇 Screen recordings could come out silent
Your microphone could be missing entirely from a finished screen recording, with no warning that anything had gone wrong.
What was wrong: the recorder only used one audio source at
a time, and system audio always won. Both are now recorded together.
🚫 Record could get stuck greyed out
Even with everything connected and ready, the Record button could stay disabled for no visible reason. It now checks whether recording can actually start, not an internal status label that could get out of sync.
✖️ Cancel didn't respond
Clicking Cancel in the recorder sometimes did nothing at all. It's now an immediate, two-step confirm — click once, then click again to discard.
📹 The webcam preview went blank while recording
The live camera preview used to disappear the moment you pressed Record. It now stays visible through the countdown and the whole take.
🪞 The recorder's own preview leaked into the video
The live screen preview — a mirror of the screen being captured — could end up inside your exported recording. From the countdown onward, that preview layer is now dropped; only the camera overlay and a red recording border remain.
Setting up your phone
One-time setup. After that it's just another camera in the list.
🍏 iPhone or iPad
- In Vistora's recorder, click Connect phone…
- Pick a helper app (Camo, iVCam or EpocCam) — the button opens the maker's page, where you can scan their code to install it on the phone.
- Install it on both the phone and this PC.
- Connect with the USB cable, open the app on both, and tap Allow on the phone.
- Back in Vistora, press Use phone.
🤖 Android
- Windows 11 has this built in — no extra app to buy.
- Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Mobile devices and link your phone.
- Turn on Use as a connected camera.
- Keep the PC and phone on the same Wi-Fi.
- Back in Vistora, press Use phone.
If the phone doesn't show up: open the Windows Camera app and switch
cameras. If your phone isn't listed there either, the connection or helper app needs
attention — Vistora can only see what Windows can see. If it is listed there,
close and reopen Vistora's recorder panel to refresh the device list.
