Software Simulation not fitting on screen in preview

Hello, I have an issue with the screen size on software simulations. It all fits perfectly on one screen without the need to scroll when doing the recording. But when I preview it the screen size is much larger and I have to keep scrolling to different areas. I’ve tried the full screen recording and the app window recording and also custom size recording options and I get the same results. For context my laptop is set at 1920×1080 scale and layout set to 150%. Any ideas anyone? Thank you.

Thank you for your comments Dirk. I tried re-scaling down to 100% and it did work. But when I changed back to 150% I had the same problem. My users will all have a 1920×1080 and 150% scale on their laptops. I can’t expect them to change their display settings to complete the eLearning.

Also, if you are using multiple screens (laptop + monitors), all monitors must be at the same resolution and size (1920×1080 + 100%).

Try the resolution at 100% instead. I had this issue in the past and that fixed it.
