Frequently asked questions

What resolution should I record my screen for YouTube?

Record at your native display resolution (typically 2560x1600 on modern MacBook Pro). CursorFocus exports at up to 4K. YouTube recommends uploading at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160.

What aspect ratio should screen recordings use?

16:9 is the standard for most platforms. MacBook screens are 16:10, so a slight letterboxing or crop may be needed when targeting 16:9 output.
