Some technical queries are better answered with a quick video/screen recording. For example if you have a technical query that involves a task done in a UI rather than in code, ie: “Mac find large files” or “excel delete empty rows” or “aws forward a domain” . Tasks like these are best answered with a quick screen recording. You can quickly take a screen/audio recording with GrabThisCode. After doing a google search click “Add Answer” (or press a) and then click the video icon on the right side of the answer: Click “Start Recording” and select the option of what to record then click “Share” and the recording will begin. Recordings can be no longer than 1 minute, so keep it short and simple. After your done recording click “Stop Recording”. Once done recording you can preview your video, and redo it if you would like. You can add any notes or resource links to your video recording in the normal GrabThisCode answer section, then click “Save”. Answers with video recording will show up just like regular GrabThisCode answers, so next time you run into the same problem you will have a nice video recording of how to solve it.
