Are you thinking about using a screen recorder to track someone’s computer activity? Here’s what you need to know about mSpy’s version.

Online communication matters as much as offline discussions nowadays, and knowing what exactly goes on in our digital screens can be both enlightening and inevitable. That’s where screen recorders come in. These tools capture real-time digital activities, making sure you get the whole picture of what happens on a computer monitor. One parental control solution that offers this feature is mSpy, and I had the opportunity to take it for a spin to see if it is all that.

How does mSpy’s screen recording work?

mSpy’s screen recording captures what happens on your monitored device whenever social media or messaging apps are used. It records the screen, taking snapshots at regular intervals. The good news is that it does all of this stealthily – without getting caught.

One downside is that there are no settings available to filter which apps trigger the screen recording. It will start capturing screens whenever any social media or messaging app is opened by your target user.

How stealthy is this capability?

I liked how undercover the mSpy Screen Recorder was when I used it because I could monitor various digital interactions happening on a desktop without causing any disruption or raising suspicion. This makes sure you can monitor someone else's online conduct without affecting their productivity or even letting them know they are being monitored.

Setting up mSpy screen recorder

Activating this feature does not require additional steps after putting mSpy on your target device. You simply log in to your Control Panel and choose Screen Recording from the left-hand menu to start monitoring screenshots taken from the device.

What can be seen with mSpy screen recorder

mSpy provides an ample view of a user’s online actions through screenshots captured by this tool. Each screenshot shows an image from one of social media or messaging apps, coming with timestamps for easy reference. If you need more than just seeing these images in your dashboard, there is also an option available for downloading them.

This tool captures screens at regular intervals showing:

Facebook
WhatsApp
Snapchat
Instagram

These platforms are where kids hang out most of their time talking with friends and posting pictures online so having access to these screens can reveal lots about their online behavior.

Final thoughts about mSpy screen recording

Screen recorders have gained popularity among parents who want to make sure their children have healthy online behaviors or companies that want to prevent data breaches from happening due to employee misconducts. After testing out how mspy performs in capturing desktop activity, I can say it meets my high expectations towards this brand thanks to being insightful and stealthy at once when capturing digital actions happening on one's computer monitor.
