You can download OBS at http://www.obsproject.com. The screen recorder is very powerful. Watch the video to learn how to configure and set it up. 📃 Watch related playlists and videos – How to See Yourself while using OBS Screen Recorder: https://youtu.be/Z9S_2FmLCm8 – OBS Black Screen Fix Windows 10: https://youtu.be/0M5d5lmOvSU – Best OBS recording settings: https://youtu.be/RtDQDbPTd9E INSTALL To start, we’ll go to http://www.obsproject.com to install the OBS Studio or Open Broadcaster Software Studio software. Then we’ll install the software on my computer. SOURCES Once installed, the first thing we’ll do is add sources. We’ll add one for the ‘Display Capture’ — which gives us the desktop. We’ll add another for the ‘Video Capture Device’ — which gives us the webcam. You’ll want to make sure that Video Capture Device appears at the top of the list, which ensures that the video appears on top of the desktop image. OUTPUT TAB Next we check the output tab. This shows where the videos files are stored. You can also edit the file type that we store the video as. AUDIO Next we check the audio. You can see how you can adjust the audio level for system audio as well as for the mic. Lastly, we’ll click on recording, show a demo recording in a game, and then play back the file to see how the recording worked. Looking for a quality webcam?
