# Change the video file location

## Aim

To save the videos in another location than the default one.

The default location where MediaRecorder stores its video files is:

D:\\Noldus\\MediaRecorder\\Video Files — If Noldus IT installed your system

C:\\Users\\Public\\Public Documents\\Noldus\\MediaRecorder\\Video Files — In all other cases. It is recommended to set this folder to be located on a separate, fast, large capacity drive.

## Prerequisite

You must be able to write in the selected folder and there must be enough file space available (at least 600 Mb per video per hour).

## Procedure

Click this button and browse to the new location.
