# Option to pause/resume while capturing the video

**Useful when:**

* You need to pause capturing because unexpected interruptions occurred or when you need to prep the next steps.
* You want to create a more polished final capture by pausing during transitions or setup, ensuring your viewers only see what's essential.

**Guide:**

Start capturing the video as usual by selecting the corresponding button, then whenever you need to paus it, click on the corresponding button on the toolbar.

Then click it again to resume recording.
