Video recording tools
✎ This article/section is a stub — some half-sorted notes, not necessarily checked, not necessarily correct. Feel free to ignore, or tell me about it.
The first question is what you want to record:
- video devices (webcam, video capture devices, or such)
- specific monitor (or program)
...because a lot of tools choose just one, and things that can do both are usually more work to learn.
Win10: "Windows Camera" in the Microsoft store, "Camera" once installed
- video-device recorder
- one-click recording, yet basically no settings beyond resolution
Xbox game bar
- screen recorder
- comes with windows, but probably not installed at work
OBS
- screen/videodevice/other
- flexible, but needs some initial learning and setup because of it
- made for streaming, but also quite useful for recording (from various sources)
