Setting Hotkeys
In Camtasia Relay, hotkeys are for more than just convenience. While they do save time, they also allow you to start, pause, and stop your recording without the audience seeing you fiddle with the recorder interface.
To Set Hotkeys
Choose Settings > Hotkeys or click on the Hotkeys icon at the top of your recorder
Type a key combination for each hotkey.
Click OK.
Note: By default, Keynote does not allow the use of hotkeys when presenting in full screen mode. To enable hotkeys in Keynote, choose Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow (tab), and click Allow Exposé, Dashboard, and others to use screen.
