Press Record. That is the hard part done.
A small floating recorder that stays out of the way and out of the picture.
More about record →Window, area or screen
Pick an open window from live thumbnails, drag an area, or take a whole monitor.
Up to 60 frames a second
Captured through Windows’ own capture and encoded on your graphics card.
Microphone and system sound
Recorded as separate lanes, so each can be levelled or muted afterwards.
Webcam
Recorded as its own layer with a live preview and a mirror switch before you start.
Mic check
A live level meter and a three-second test, so you hear yourself before the take.
Countdown
Three, two, one, centred on exactly what is being captured. Change the length or switch it off.
Teleprompter
Your script floats on top of everything and never appears in the recording.
Global hotkeys
Start, stop and pause from anywhere. Ctrl + Alt + R and Ctrl + Alt + P by default.
Full resolution for zooms
An area recording keeps the whole monitor underneath, so zooming in stays sharp.
A frame and a background, on by default.
The take sits in a frame on a background the moment it opens. Change either in one click.
More about canvas →Window frames

The recording as wallpaper

Your own picture

Your own clip

Padding, corners, shadow
