When recording configured applications, only the active application (the application that currently has focus) will be recorded. When an application window loses focus the recording pauses. For example, you are working in Notepad, which is being recorded, and you open Internet Explorer to do a search. When you open Internet Explorer Notepad loses focus and the recording pauses.
An application recording also pauses if a recorded application is minimized. If an application is paused for more than five minutes, the recording will end and a new recording will begin once the application has regained focus or is restored from being minimized.
Add the executable name of the application you want to record in the input box provided and click the Add button.
