TechSmith has released Camtasia 2025.2.3, and one of the most noticeable new features is the introduction of Light Mode as an application UI option.
For years, Camtasia users have been working in Dark Mode by default. While Dark Mode has benefits, not everyone prefers editing in a darker workspace. With this update, you now have the choice to continue using Dark Mode or brighten things up with the new Light Mode.
Why Light Mode Matters
- Make text and menus easier to read for some developers
- Reduce eye strain in brightly lit environments
- Provide a cleaner, modern interface that aligns with your operating system’s theme
Whether you’re editing eLearning projects, software demos, or marketing videos, the ability to customize your workspace means a more comfortable and efficient workflow.
How to Switch to Light Mode
- Open Camtasia 2025.2.3
- Go to Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Camtasia > Settings (Mac)
- Select Appearance
- Choose between Dark Mode or the new Light Mode
That’s it—you can instantly toggle between the two interfaces and pick the one that works best for your editing environment.
Here’s a video that demonstrates the process of switching between modes and how the modes look.
Final Thoughts
The addition of Light Mode may seem like a small change to the Camtasia interface, but it’s a big win for usability and personalization. TechSmith continues to refine Camtasia, making it easier for creators to focus on what matters most—delivering professional, polished videos.
