Record Code Reviews

Walk through pull requests on video instead of leaving walls of text comments. A recorded code review lets you point at specific lines, explain your reasoning out loud, and give feedback that sounds human instead of terse.

Senior developers, tech leads, and engineering managers who review pull requests regularly

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Open the PR diff in your editor or GitHub

    Use split diff view so both old and new code are visible. Increase the font size to at least 16px so the recording stays legible.

  2. 2

    Increase editor font size

    Bump your IDE font to 16-18px before recording. Default 12-13px text compresses badly in video and becomes unreadable on smaller screens.

  3. 3

    Walk through the diff top to bottom

    Narrate your thought process: what the code does, what you'd change, and why. Spoken feedback carries tone that written comments lose.

  4. 4

    Highlight key lines with your cursor

    Move your cursor to the exact line you're discussing. Cursor highlight makes this movement visible even when the code is dense.

  5. 5

    Summarize with action items

    End the recording with a quick list: 'Fix the null check on line 42, consider renaming X, and the rest looks good.' Clear next steps speed up iteration.

Screenify features for this workflow

Auto-Zoom

Code diffs are dense — auto-zoom punches into the section you're clicking on so reviewers can read individual lines without pausing and zooming manually.

Cursor Highlight

When walking through 500 lines of diff, a highlighted cursor keeps the viewer's eye on the exact line you're discussing.

AI Captions

Captions let team members skim the review in a noisy office or catch technical terms they might mishear in spoken English.
