How to Record your Computer Screen & Webcam
VloĆŸit

- FREE and works on Windows, Mac, & Linux. Record your computer screen and a webcam simultaneously.
There are lots of programs out there, like ezvid and Camtasia. Some have ads and others cost money. In this video, I walk through how to download, install, and set up Open Broadcaster Software (obsproject.com). It's free, has no ads, and allows you to record your desktop and a webcam simultaneously. On forums, this is most often recommended as the best screen recording software. You can use this for gaming videos or even corporate walkthroughs and presentations.
The screen recorder is very powerful. Watch the video to learn how to configure and set it up.
INSTALL
To start, we'll go to 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. I personally prefer recording in .mp4.
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.

The fact that he had to teach us to record a screen by recording his screen showing the recorded screen is blowing my mind rn. Thank you
Bro stop it đ to high for that!!
Can you tell me where screen brightness in it is?
Exactly what I needed! Not a gamer-- I'm in private education, but with COVID-19 canceling all my workshops, I needed a way to post my tutorials without needing to meet with students. I think this will work!
lol, Hope youâre not a boomer.
Im in a similar situation but instead of being a teacher im a student who needs to send his oral presentations.
@@ulyssesfouvry732 Pretend your screen froze
I'm in exactly the same situation. This program works perfectly. And you can record the tutorials in short pieces and then put them together with movie maker.
Ditto! Just got the word that school is out indefinitely. I need a way to deliver lessons to my students. Now I've got one. Thanks!
Thanks! I was looking for the basics to get started, not all the editing tweaks and this was the simplest and beginner i saw. Appreciate it!
I searched all over for the best software to use for my online lectures. I think I just found it. Thank you so much.
this guy is like a teacher to me about computer recording
Hahahah yea
R/technically the truth
yes
Idk when my computer teacher will talk about screen recording
Hahahhahshshshshshshshahs
After looking at about 20 videos to find out how to do this, I found yours and I have to say, you are a great teacher. I finally got this. Thanks man.
Meeeto
did it work because didnt for me
Same! My son wants to do this and Iâm like đȘ this is so not my thing but let me try and help. Thankful for this video â„ïž
Thank you so much buddy. My son is a gamer and introduced me to OBS to shoot videos for my real estate school website. I was feeling really down and out this morning about using this but I clicked on this video. I followed each step and I am now recording videos. Good luck son.
this video made something that seemed really complicated and overwhelming into something very simple and intuitive. thank you so much!
As a pastor whose church is going online during COVID-19 this video tutorial was absolutely priceless. Thanks ever so much.
God bless you man
I should have thought of that; my sister is a brand new or recently installed First Lady. Yep. I love when ppl say "priceless." Especially when it's so/true.

@justanotherautotech is he a rapist ??
*I hope you're doing fun things!*
cries in school presentation recording
same...
same ='/
why are we still here...just to suffer
omg i did the same thing, but i think i did it only because my sister did it lol
same fuuuck
what a great tutorial!!!!! no bull crap and straight to the point. clear and easy to understand!! I wish all learning videos were like this on YT
Thank you very much. Exactly what I needed. I wondered how complex will that be. But you made it easy to understand.
Thanks for this tip. As an educator teaching remotely due to COVID-19, I appreciate your videos.
If you have tried Screencastify, let me know if OBS is better. I find Screencastify simple to use but I am now looking for a screen casting app/software for videos that are not for teaching.
@@samosa5925 Maybe you could try the Wondershare DemoCreator, which is a pretty easy to use screen/webcam/audio recorder and supporting video editing:)
@@WondershareDemoCreator Thank younformthe suggestion. I have since tried OBS and find it fine and simple enough but always to know about other things.
Heck yeah
Freemason piece of shit.
dude thank you so much for this. You might've helped start the next generation of CZcams gamers and they wouldn't be anywhere without you
Thank you for the very clear instructions. I hope me not skipping the ads helped you.
Heya, northern neighbor. Thanks for your helpful information. I changed from capturing display to window capture because I didn't like seeing all of those layers on my monitor when I'm trying to work with OBS Studio. In the process I could no longer see my webcam. Your explanation of setting up helped me find my issue and become comfortable with hiding my OBS screen while recording.
Thank you! This was super helpful. I'm doing virtual classes and sometimes have to do prerecorded versions. This way of recording is super helpful and way better than the other options. And, as someone whose work and personal life are mostly outdoors and involve little use of technology, this was the step-by-step tutorial I needed!
I've been wading through dozens of OBS tutorial videos just to find basic screencast instruction, yours has been the best by far. Quick, straight forward and to the point. Liked and subscribed. Thanks from London!
The way you explained it made it sound very easy. Thank you.
This video helps me a lot in my assignment! Well explained and easy to follow. Thank you so muchđ
This was made so simple and to the point. Thanks Kevin. Really appreciated. Doesn't seem techy when you explain it.
This was awesome! Thanks for making it. Direct and to the point, and exactly what I needed. I was having a very hard time lighting my screen to show what was on it for tech demos!
Best tutorial, open-source, without restrictions, and available for the most common OS: Linux, Mac, Microsoft.
Kevin, I was looking for a way to do this and you solved it for me! Great presentation, great tutorial, great software recommendation. Now, I just need to figure out how to change the background on the "Video Capture Device" and I'll be all set.
This is the 4th time I've looked this up and you zoned right on in. I was recording in minutes. Thank you! I tried a couple of different ways but this way just worked so quickly and easily. Now I can record my training videos and save time repeating the training over and over.
you right Regina

Exactly what I have been looking for for about 4 years
Hi Kavin, Here is a comment from India, I just want to say thank you from my bottom of my heart. You really solved my big problem. Thank you for your great work !!
Hello brother Is this software working ?
Thank you! Needed this to film myself using and navigating through new software stuff for my music students!
Nice job Kevin, very practical and straightforward. Following along, I easily did the software download and successfully made a video using OBS Projecy, just like yours with WIW, audio successfully recorded and all! Thank you for such a helpful video. Great job!
This is the most straight forward video i have ever seen, great work !
This is amazingly simple and helpful ! Thanks Kevin !
Remember, He's Screen Sharing Over Screen Sharing
*cried demonic confuse sounds*
so I want to know what recorder he actually use.
@@i_love_ar_4789_my_husband Probably OBS again but not in a virtual machine.
O-o *Illuminati music starts to play*
but what if he kept going further and screen shared over ten recordings
Thank you for being a blessing, ive been looking this one for how many days coz I am an engineering student and wanted to have a youtube tutorial channel in lined to engineering applications. đ
I have a presentation to submit on Thursday. This helped me a lot. Thank you đ
Thank you so much for this video, I been waiting to do this for such a long time. As a small gamer streamer I never knew how to record without going live so this helps out so much thank you đ
Iâve been looking for this video years finally đ©đ
Actually was looking for something like this recording your self while doing some stuff, now i got one, wow great! Many thanks
Thank you. I have always been too scared it would be too complicated. Thanks for a great video
A very user-friendly way to walk me through such complicated thing. I mean before learning it was a mess for me but now I am all learned and ready to get things going. Thank you Kevin
You are a life saver !! Thank you very much for this video. I love the way you explain things, you made this so easy for me to learn..Awesome Guy! Bless You

Me too. This guy is good :)
@@service6403 mate your weird as
Extremely helpful. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Great tutorial, especially for beginners. This is much easier than using an el gato with an external mic and editing software. All that was too much for my 8 year old son (and none of it was free) , I wish I knew about this a few years ago! I can also use this for my business. Thank you for the info!
This tutorial was so helpful for this 50 something lady! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I can finally use my webcam
same!
Ok.
Thank you Mr. Stravert, for your educational video. i just figured out a way to record my screen, so learning to do this is gonna be a big help, when i start making Gaming videos and live streams.
Thanks man. I had homework for the next day, and i just needed something quick and easy!!
Thanks! This video came in clutch. I do have one suggestion for screen recording though - I think it would be helpful to use the zoom in/out feature rather than full screen when clicking on items with small text (1:29, 2:30, etc)
Thanks so much for posting this!
You have helped me find how to use a software that records your computer screen and face cam!
Great explanation. Just what I needed. As usual all your videos are short and to the point. I have implemented a lot of things in my daily work with your videos. This one was very helpful.
THX ive been trying to find a screen recorder for AGES THIS HELPED ME A LOT THANK YOU
It will lag so many people disliked because it will lag including me I have good PC but it still lags

Man, you literally saved my life. Incredible tutorial !!!
LITERALLY? Holy shit... someone was threatening your life if you didn't learn to screen record with webcam? That's some serious shit.. your manager must be... hard to work for.
YES. This is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much! You're amazing. Very good at explaining everything. I needed to create a tutorial for work and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you thank you!

I like this guy! he is actually helpful with his tips. Nothing sketchy.
definitely, no extra steps or filling to make the video longer
yes. But I notice that he makes videos with almost same content. But still helpful tho
I agree

I found your channel through recommendations from Stenberg College in Vancouver BC Canada. I just started a coarse and they recommended one of your tutorials on how to scan docs using your cell phone.
Hey kevin you were quite free and easy going in your tutorials back then
THANK YOU! Iâve been trying to find out how to do that and now I know! Still need webcam but I will be just fine with or without it
Thx I loved it and I'm gonna use this from now on in my vids
Thanks man! i was looking all over youtube and,i could't find the right app!

I came to your CZcams channel on purpose only to thank you. I saw this video in Safari video recommendations. You helped me a lot.
Omg thx so much I really wnt to start a gaming channel so that was really help full I wrote it in my notes so I wouldent forget and have to watch the vid all again
Can you do this for ps4
I have a gaming channel! I just need to clean my surrounding frist....
Jordan Hephzibah to record in ps4, just press the share button, and If u want to record ur microphone go to broadcasting settings, then audio settings turn on microphone if u want to do that, then when ur in game, double tap the share button to record, then double tap again to stop recording, recordings can be found by going into the capture gallery, and if u want to edit it ps4 has its own editing app called share factory but if u want to upload it u have to link your own account with ur CZcams account
