About Figma Prototype Preview Recorder
Record anything in Figma's Preview to video — prototypes, scroll-throughs, even embedded video — straight from a button inside Figma's own Preview window. Figma Prototype Preview Recorder adds a red ● record button right into the Preview toolbar. Click it, click through your prototype, click again to stop, and a video file lands in your Downloads. No screen-recording app, no OS permission prompts, no cropping the rest of your screen out of the frame. ★ WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Instead of screen-grabbing your monitor, it captures the prototype's actual rendering surface directly. That means: • Pixel-perfect video at the preview's exact size — not a re-compressed screenshot of your screen • No browser tabs, cursor, or desktop bleeding into the recording • Videos embedded in your prototype are captured too • Optionally capture the prototype's audio — the sound from embedded video, no permission prompt • No screen-capture permission dialog, and your recordings never leave your browser ★ HOW TO USE IT 1. Open a Figma design file and start the Preview (Shift + Space) 2. Drag the Preview window to the size you want — that's your recording resolution 3.
