Screenbits captures audio from output and input audio devices. You can capture audio either individually in individually audio capture mode or add it to the captured video when using other [[Capture_mode|capture modes]].
== Input and output audio ==
Screenbits uses general terms for the audio sources which it can capture. The term ''output audio'' refers to the audio which is generated by the system and provided to an external device. This is usually the system sound which you can hear from speakers or headphones. In contrast, ''input audio'' refers to the audio generated by an external device, usually a microphone, and is provided as an input to the system.

== Input mode ==
You can choose the input mode for capturing audio from an input audio device such as a microphone. Currently, two input modes are available: ''Open-mic'' and ''Push-to-talk''.
In open-mic mode, the input audio gets captured continuously while in push-to-talk mode, input audio gets captured only when the specified push-to-talk key on keyboard is pressed. You can use push-to-talk mode to capture your voice only when you speak.
To change the input mode:
#From the [[Getting_started#Application_window|application window]], click '''Input audio options''' button next to the input audio switch under ''Options'' or ''Audio'' section to open ''Input audio options''.
#Select the desired input mode from '''Input mode''' selector.
