Question: Can I auto-stop my recording at a certain time?

Answer: Yes! You can auto-stop your recording in the extension settings. 

You can either auto-stop your recording:

• Before you begin recording or
• Once your recording has begun

Note:

Screencastify requires at least 1 GB of free disk space and will stop your recording before the auto-stop timer if you are running out of space. For more information please see this article here.

Before you begin recording

You can set the auto-stop timing before starting your recording in the Advanced Settings menu:

1. Click on the extension in the top right corner of your Chrome window
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the extension pop-up
3. Click on the value next to "Auto-stop" 
4. You can then either select a pre-set time from the menu or set a custom time

Once your recording has begun

1. Begin your recording
2. Click the extension in the top right corner of your Chrome window
