# TUbe Recorder *With the „TUbe Recorder,“ you can record your camera and screen directly from the TeachCenter to create simple instructional videos. The recorded videos can be published directly on TUbe.* *Published: 3 November 2021 · Updated: 22 August 2025* The advantage of using the TUbe Recorder is that the recording is done locally and the quality does not depend on your Internet connection. ## Using TUbe Recorder ## Access to the TUbe Recorder To use the TUbe Recorder, you need a **TeachCenter course in which TUbeDrop is enabled.** If this is not the case, [request TUbe services](https://tube.tugraz.at/apply/) for your course.
