Capturing a screen recording of an issue on your desktop

Upon encountering unusual or errant behaviour on Bookem, we might ask you to capture a screen recording to mail or message us. This article explains how to go about it on desktops.

For screen recording on your mobile device (iOS or Android) go here, otherwise read below for doing so on your desktop.

However, the easiest option on desktop is to use your phone’s camera and message it to our WhatsApp support number on +27 (0) 872500345
