Screen Recording Checklist Before Sending to Clients
Client-facing recordings need a higher standard than internal rough cuts. A short checklist before sending the link can prevent avoidable confusion, privacy mistakes, and re-recording later.

Confirm the recording only shows the screens and context the client actually needs.
Watch the clip once end to end before sharing it.
Make sure the chosen share method matches the intended audience and access level.
Common questions
Why should client recordings be reviewed differently from internal ones?
Because client-facing videos are often treated as final assets, so small mistakes in wording, capture scope, or exposed context create more friction and cleanup later.
What is the most common mistake before sending a recording to a client?
Sending a clip before checking whether it shows unrelated internal tabs, dead space, or the wrong workflow state.
Should client recordings use public links by default?
Only when the broader access model is actually appropriate. Otherwise, use narrower sharing options first.
Check the capture scope first
A client recording should show only the workflow the client is meant to see. Internal tools, side tabs, notifications, and unrelated discussion windows should be excluded before the link is ever created.
Review audio and pacing
A clip can be technically correct and still feel weak if the narration is unclear or the pacing drags. Watching the clip once before sharing is often enough to catch dead space, confusing explanations, or the wrong audio source.
Why this is a local-first strength
A local-first recorder makes this easier because the review step happens naturally before the recording enters a hosted workflow. That makes it easier to catch mistakes while the file is still private.
