Change the darkening of areas that are not recorded

Feature Request

I often record on a large, high-resolution screen. I place the recording area on the right, and on the left I place the files I need and a notebook in which I write the entire plan. Also, I place windows of other programs, which, when the moment comes, I simply transfer to the recording area.

So during recording, all the files and stuff are in front of my eyes for convenience + everything is recorded and it turns out much better, since everything is at hand and at the same time unnecessary information does not fall into the recorded area.

During recording, the unscripted area is heavily darkened, which makes it difficult to read my notes and work with the area that is off the record. It would be nice if this shadowing could be changed or removed altogether, some kind of orange frame would be enough for me to orient myself, maybe flashing during recording.

It would be nice if there was an alternative to heavily darkening areas that are not being recorded.

I would be very grateful if such functionality appeared.

    Dear FocuSee User,

    Thank you for your feedback! The purpose of adding a mask outside the recording area is to help users clearly identify the recording boundaries. However, we understand that it may affect your ability to view other content during recording.

    Regarding your note about needing to write out a full plan during recording, we recommend trying our built-in teleprompter—it displays within the recording area but won’t be captured in the final video, which may help in your scenario.

    We truly appreciate your suggestion, and our product team will consider optimizing this feature by adding an option to toggle the mask on or off based on user preference. Thank you again for your valuable input!

    Best regards,

    From Focusee Product Team
