Power Automate Desktop Recorder

Hey Everyone,

This is a continuation of my Power Automate for Desktop series and in this video we will focus on the desktop recorder feature. Instead of adding the actions one-by-one manually, you can use the recorder feature to add multiple actions by simply clicking on functions of the software you wish to use.

In this video we will go over both the browser and the image recording actions.
