How to Set Hotkeys for Recording
You can set hotkeys to invoke the recording program with RecMaster. If you don’t want to switch between several windows over and over again, then using hotkeys is an excellent way to command the software to perform the recording action. Now let’s go to the subject of how to set hotkeys both on Windows and Mac
How to Set Hotkeys on Windows
RecMaster gives four ways to trigger the recording action on Windows and users are also allowed to change the default choice as they like. Let’s begin with how to find the hotkeys windows.
Step 1: Turn on RecMaster and choose one mode.

Step 2: Please move to Settings icon and switch to Hotkeys interface.
The default settings of hotkeys for Windows are:
Start/ Pause: Alt+1
End recording: Alt+2
Show main window: Alt+3
Boss Key: Alt+d
Hide/ Show webcam: Alt+4
Open/Close Webcam: Alt+5
Enable/Disable Paintbrush: Alt+h
Screen Capture: Alt+f1

Step 3: Change default hotkeys
The RecMaster Windows version offers many combinations. You can change among Alt/ Shift/ Control with numbers 0-9. Be careful to check the settings because the same hotkeys settings can’t run simultaneously.

Now you can employ hotkeys to bring convenience to your recording.
How to set hotkeys/shortcuts on Mac
RecMaster Mac version also enables users to create hotkeys settings which are called Shortcuts for Mac users.
Step 1: Click on recording mode to enter the settings interface

For example:
Pause/ Resume Recording: Command+2>> Command+4
