How to Record your Computer Screen & Webcam

FREE and works on Windows, Mac, & Linux. Record your computer screen and a webcam simultaneously.

The screen recorder is very powerful. Watch the video to learn how to configure and set it up.

INSTALL

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.

Hope you enjoy the video! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

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

[jamesyoung]

As a pastor whose church is going online during COVID-19 this video tutorial was absolutely priceless. Thanks ever so much.

You made this video 5years ago. I saw this video 5years later and it helped me today and is still helping others.
I also love it because your video is well explained and straight to the point....
Keep up the good work.
Thank you ❤

I searched all over for the best software to use for my online lectures. I think I just found it. Thank you so much.

[marciagrisanzio]

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!

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.

Thanks for this tip. As an educator teaching remotely due to COVID-19, I appreciate your videos.

[brandonmanus]

dude thank you so much for this. You might've helped start the next generation of YouTube gamers and they wouldn't be anywhere without you <3

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 !!

[leahmmolai]

You are now officially my favorite person. I really needed this.

[TheSonicDeviant]

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!

[rabbitraider]

Dude you are the best i have been looking for this for so long you are so helpful thank you so much :D

[singggina]

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.

[kellyprendiville]

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!
