Use keyboard shortcuts for smooth Showpad Video recordings

The ability to create and share videos has been a game-changer for remote sales teams all over the globe. Video pros recommend using keyboard shortcuts, sometimes known as hotkeys, to increase flow and efficiency. These shortcuts are available during the recording itself, as well as post-production trimming and small edits. 

When doing a screen share recording, viewers and creators may feel the slow-down caused by using a mouse or trackpad to complete actions within the recording of the video. Starting and stopping recordings, turning the camera on and off, and even re-sizing the video player can slightly delay your message. Keyboard shortcuts help by offering a myriad of options that can be typed rather than clicked for ease of filming. Read on to find a list of keyboard shortcuts for Showpad Video, available on both the Web app and Windows Desktop apps.
