Screen recording
Screen recording is the capture of everything shown on a computer display as a video file.
What it means
A screen recording takes in the whole display: every open window, the desktop, the taskbar, and any notification that appears while you record. It is the right tool for tutorials and walkthroughs, where the context of the full screen matters.
For recording a single thing, one meeting or one app, it captures more than you want. Window capture is the narrower alternative. It records just one chosen application window, so background apps and pop-up notifications stay out of the file.
How this relates to Autorec
Autorec does not record your whole screen. It uses window capture instead, recording only the detected meeting window, so a notification or an unrelated app on the same display never ends up in the recording.
