Can't Pause while Recording Video Demo

Question

Hello. Using Captivate 9 in a Windows 10 environment.

I've seen how to assign a key to the Pause/Resume function, but that function does not seem to work with video demos. This is really inconvenient. Surely there is a way to do it, so you can fix something onscreen or answer a question or have any kind of interruption and then resume making your video demo. What is the carefully hidden control that will enable me to do this?

Thanks!

Video Demo cannot be paused while capturing. However you can stop the recording, and later on add another clip in the same file: move the playhead till the end of the first clip, choose Insert, Video Recording and you can add another clip. It is mostly my personal workflow, I prefer having multipls smaller clips, edit each of them before recording the following one. To create an interactive video (CP2019) this is even recommended, because you need to stop the audio at th moments of inserting an overlay slides.
