Very often, users of a personal computer need to share with someone what is happening on their monitor. This is necessary, for example, to record a video lesson about working in a complex program or to demonstrate your capabilities when drawing on a computer. It is not difficult to solve this problem and record video from your desktop.
If you need to record video from a computer screen, you do not need to try to shoot the monitor itself with a video camera. The image will turn out to be of mediocre quality, and some important features cannot be reflected. In addition, you will definitely need the help of an operator who will monitor the process and make sure that all important moments are in the frame.
The problem is solved in a much simpler way. You will need to install special software capable of recording video. It works in a similar way to the standard windows mechanism that is launched when the Print Screen button is pressed. But, unfortunately, when you press this key, it is possible to save only a static screenshot, and video recording from the computer screen is not provided in the standard configuration of almost all operating systems.
Among the popular programs for recording video from a computer screen, there are several of the most convenient and free programs.
The first one is Free Screen To Video. The program supports the Russian language and has a very clear user-friendly interface. Understanding her work will not be difficult. Even a novice user will quickly cope with the settings and can easily record their first video from the monitor.
Another handy and free program is Free Screen Video Recorder. It has a less elaborate graphical interface, but its extensive capabilities make it even more interesting than similar applications. It will be very easy to master this program too.
If the listed options did not suit you, remember the good old Virtual Dub. This program also has a plugin for screen recording. It's also free.
In addition to these applications, you can consider paid or shareware programs. The list is also quite large. Of these, the most interesting are Bandicam and UVScreenCamera.
Remember that the choice of a program for recording video from a computer screen should also depend on the purposes for which it is selected. For example, to record game videos such as let-play, it is better to choose programs that are less loaded with graphic elements that will not waste system resources.
In addition to applications for Windows, there are specialized applications for other operating systems and mobile platforms. All of them work similarly to the reviewed programs.
