There are 3 ways to start a capture. All of them end in the same place. A polished, shareable haiku.
From Home
Select Create haiku on the Home screen. Choose Browser or Desktop.
If you select Browser, Haiku shows your currently open tabs. Select the one you want to capture, and Start capture. Recording begins immediately.
If you select Desktop, the Haiku desktop app will open. Learn more.
Don't see the right tab? Select New tab — a new tab will automatically open. It’ll then be added to the list.
From My haikus
Select Create haiku at the top of the My haikus page. The same Browser/Desktop choice appears. Select a tab to begin if you chose Browser.
You can also do it from the Haikus page under your teams.
From the extension
Select the Haiku icon in your browser toolbar, then select Start capture. Pick a tab from the list and recording starts.
Camera and microphone
Before recording starts, Haiku shows the Setup recording screen. Toggle on Camera, Microphone, or both to narrate while you capture.
The recording attaches to your haiku and plays inline when viewers open it.
Select Start recording to begin.
During the capture
Once recording starts, a side panel appears on the right. Haiku is now watching your clicks and turning them into steps.

Modes. The side panel shows which mode you're in.
Capture — clicks are recorded as steps, but the page doesn't change. Use this when you want to capture actions on a single page without following links.
Capture and navigate — clicks are recorded and the page follows the action. Use this when your workflow moves across pages or sections.
Pause to stop recording across all open browser windows. Use this when you want to navigate without recording.
Select Resume to continue or Finish to wrap up with what you have.
Finishing the capture
Select Complete capture when you're done. Haiku builds your haiku automatically.
