How To Record a Session on AnyDesk in Windows 11?

Below are different ways to record sessions on AnyDesk. You can use the built-in feature, OBS studio, or the best recording software, Advanced Screen Recorder.

Why do we recommend using a third-party screen recording tool (Advanced Screen Recorder)?

When you record a session using the AnyDesk application, certain restrictions are imposed on the user. Most users don’t like being controlled. Using a third-party recording tool like Advanced Screen Recorder is the best option if you are also among them.

This top recording software allows you to record anything on your computer, from movies to Zoom sessions, Amazon Prime shows, and every activity you perform on your PC. The tool even allows you to capture 4K videos, take screenshots, and do many more.

What you cannot do when you use AnyDesk to record sessions?

1. All the recordings you make using AnyDesk will be saved locally on the PC.

2. Recordings are saved with a .anydesk file extension. This means you can play them only through the AnyDesk app.

3. You cannot convert the recorded file to any other media type like mp4.

4. You cannot set the output format, trim recording, take snapshots, or auto split or stop recording.

5. You cannot add effects.

6. You cannot record your audio simultaneously.

Using these simple steps, you can screen record AnyDesk Session.

Tip : To record an active session, simply press the record button.

The default path to access the recordings you recorded using the AnyDesk application.

Windows:
 %homepath%\Videos\AnyDesk
macOS: ~/.anydesk/AnyDesk
Linux: ~/Videos/AnyDesk

To change this path, go to “Settings” – “Recording” – “Path” and click “Custom path” to choose the location you want to save.

Method 2 – Record AnyDesk Using OBS

If you want to create something out of your recording, or you plan to record a tutorial and are okay using a tool that might be overwhelming but is Free, you can try out OBS. All you have to do is –

  • Launch AnyDesk Client on your computer and find the connection code.
  • Establish a connection using AnyDesk on Your PC
  • After establishing your connection, you might want to open OBS on your PC and initiate the screen recorder to get started.

After the session, return to OBS and stop the screen recorder. You will now have a completely recorded AnyDesk session to be watched again.

Method 3 – Record AnyDesk Sessions With Advanced Screen Recorder

OBS can create a basic recording, as shown above. However, if you want to take a snapshot, auto split, or auto stop recording, you should probably use Advanced Screen Recorder.

To use Advanced Screen Recorder, follow these steps:

1. Download and install Advanced Screen Recorder.

2. Launch the desktop recording tool.
3. The software’s welcome screen offers different screen recording options. Select one according to your needs. To change default settings or record in 4K, click the horizontal lines > Settings > Record > click the down arrow under Size and select 4096×2160 (4k).
