How to Record Your Screen Using Birdie

If our Support Team asks you to share a screen recording, you can use Birdie to securely capture your screen and show us exactly what you are experiencing. This helps us understand the issue more quickly and provide a solution as efficiently as possible.

Why We May Request a Screen Recording

Sometimes it can be difficult to identify an issue based on written descriptions alone. A short screen recording allows our team to see:

  • The exact steps you are taking

  • Any error messages displayed

  • What you are seeing on your screen

This often helps us resolve your request much faster.


How to Record Your Screen with Birdie

Step 1: Open the Birdie Link

Your Support Specialist will send you a Birdie link.

Click the link to open Birdie in your web browser.

Note: Birdie works directly in your browser, so there is no need to download any software.


Step 2: Allow Screen Sharing

First allow Birdie to have access of your microphone if necessary.

When prompted, select the screen, window or browser tab you would like to share.

We recommend selecting the specific browser tab or window where the issue is occurring.

Click Share to begin.


Step 3: Reproduce the Issue

Go through the steps that lead to the issue.

Try to:

  • Start from the page where the issue begins

  • Show each step clearly

  • Pause briefly if an error message appears

There is no need to speak during the recording unless you would like to provide additional context.


Step 4: Stop the Recording

When you have finished, return to Birdie and click Stop Recording.

Birdie will automatically process your recording.


Step 5: Submit the Recording

You can click Retry if you need to record again or Finish if you wish to share that recording.

Once you click Finish, the link automatically sends to your option thread with Support.


Tips for a Helpful Recording

  • Keep the recording focused on the issue

  • Include any error messages or unexpected behaviour

  • Start from the beginning of the process if possible

  • Record in full screen for better visibility


Privacy and Security

Birdie recordings are shared securely and are only used by our Support Team to investigate and resolve your request.
