    0:00 Intro
    Using the recorder in Power Automate for Desktop is a powerful way to learn new things in PAD. The recorder copies the steps you do and automatically creates flows based on those. You'll quickly learn a lot of unique actions this way.
    0:55 Automate browser work with the recorder
    Use the Launch new web browser to open a browser of your choice (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or IE). Remember to have the browser extension installed. Next, the tutorial takes you through how to record a flow, where you navigate to a website, type in fields, and scrape the results. Finally, we present the result in a text file.
    7:34 Automate applications with the recorder
    The recorder lets us automate all actions performed in applications. The tutorial takes you through a case automating the Windows calculator - it's the same technique we'll use in all applications, so pay close attention. Finally, we use the Get Subtext to do string manipulation.

    Thanks for the video. I have learned alot and your teaching style is very simple but effective. a follow up question on this recorded feature, can I have this recorded flow run on schedule? Say I have to go to the system and extract data then update excel file on a daily basis. Can I record the flow and have it run on scheduled time daily? Thanks again~

    I've got a "Files" object for a folder of powerpoint files, and I want to export each powerpoint file to an MP4 video and save it to a folder. I record an action for the first powerpoint file and then apply it in foreach loop for all files, but once it comes to the second file, it always focuses back on the first file again. Is the recorded action always tied to the first file? I can't seem to make it focus on the 2nd,3rd,4th file etc even with currentItem or AppProcessId variables, or Windowfocus actions or anything

    Hi Anders, Thank you for such educational videos.. I have a question. in my Power Automate i have a recorder button in this video your pc has. However, i watched another video his P.A had Desktop Recorder button o Canvas and what he did was is he ETL basically.. opened excel transformed it and created a copy and saved. So for this process he created a flow. But the same thing when i am trying to do with this existing recorder button it does not work infact my Cruser stopes working when i am in excel.. Therefore, i wonder it my recorder and desktp recodrer are different. is it so..? if so how can i get this option desktop recorder..?

    A learning I have from using PAD recorder with older legacy systems, is that some of them don't have identifications of individual text boxes or similar, instead when recording the event, it captures just the whole pane area and the flow fails.
    we've had to tab our way to certain locations in a old system, or use the arrow keys. Is this normal? Gotta be a better way?

    Any ideas if the recording does not play back. For example for the search filed in the video it recorder navigate to page. Navigate does not work for me and causes playback to fail. I replaced it with press UI element, which works but often fails if the window title for google changes. More advanced things like sending right click completely fails if I want to use a custom site right click menu. Anybody know how to fix my issues? Thanks
