The video recording feature supports the recording of audio and video to the avi format. This is interesting for presentations, as you may capture screens at any time, and reset the whiteboard to start anew. This turns the desktop into a whiteboard that you can draw and write on. One interesting option that Screeny supports is the program's whiteboard mode. It may however be better to send the screen capture to an image editor like Paint.NET as it offers advanced editing options that this editor does not support. Still, all basic - with the exception of blur - options are provided. I could not find a blue option for instance, and there are not any effects that you can apply to parts of the screenshot or all if it either. The editor is not as powerful as that of SnagIt though. You may add arrows, draw lines and other objects, crop the screenshot, or add text to it. The editor comes with the usual options to draw or process the screenshot before you save it. You can change that to freehand, which enables you to draw using the mouse, and even draw multiple times before the screenshot is saved, or one of ten additional capture methods that include window, fullscreen, menus or scrolling windows. The default capturing method is selection rectangle this means that you can draw rectangles around parts of the screen that you want to save. There is also an option to display a share window which is enabled by default. Other options include adding the mouse cursor to the capture, adding captions or watermarks, or delaying the capture.

Captures are saved automatically, but you could send them to the built-in editor or clipboard instead.

The main interlace allows you to enable or disable various options.

The default save directory is the user's pictures folder. First, to pick the default capture key - which it sets to the Print-key by default - and to pick the save directory for captures. Screeny prompts you to make two choices during installation.
