Control panel

The compact control panel is the first thing you see when you launch Movavi Screen Recorder. The panel provides you with quick access to all basic tools without blocking the content on your screen.
 
By default, the panel will be located at the right side of your screen, but you can pin it to any side you like.
Note that the panel cannot block the Dock (located below by system default).
