    Great video. Tried a few, including two here, and OBS is for sure the way to go. I tried the Xbox app, but it stated it was "not available for Windows desktop or file explorer" and the record button is grayed out. I tried Zoom. It created errors when I started up my music software and tried to record, essentially that it was unable to record audio. I had heard of OBS before, but was hesitant to dive into it due to the potential learning curve. However, after watching your video, and trying a couple, I ultimately dove right in and am glad I did. It took me less than 3 minutes to figure it out. Initially, there was a problem capturing live audio once I launched my music software, but I was able to easily go into OBS settings and change the mic input, and voila, all is perfect. It is simple to launch, and use. Thanks so much. ☮

    I used to like Apowersoft online screen recorder. I have been using it for the last year to record some of online courses I paid. It was easy to use, smooth, doesn't have limit, and it allowed me to cut off the beginning of the video, and adjust the ending of the video, so that the final product of the video looks much nicer. However, I just launched the online screen recorder again to record some online course. It has a new interface, difficult to use, and it wouldn't allow to edit anymore. And when I played the video, for some reason, it wouldn't allow me to advance. It seems that they add some restriction on playing the video. I don't like it anymore. That's why I'm searching for another easy-to-use screen recorder that brings me to your video. I'm considering to buy Apowersoft paid version software. However, it's trial version doesn't have editing ability for me to try out.

    Kevin, thanks for this presentation, but there are some limitations at least on the one I selected after watching your video and downloading the software. Flashback Express
    1. Limited to 720p resolution - 4K requires you buy the upgrade.
    2. The desktop settings where you can disable the background etc to give it a tidy appearance don't seem to exist anymore.
    3. Time limit for video I believe is 10 minutes max- Note I remember seeing this somewhere and a limited video recording is implied in the express-pro comparison.
    Maybe the people that sell the software saw your presentation and thought they'd detune the free version!

    Regretfully not one of these worked for what I needed and the majority no longer work as shown here.
    Couldn't test the game bar recorder as it never goes 'ready' unless a game is running, it no longer works as a screen recorder, making it absolutely useless for this.
    Zoom had no recording option, as shown in this video, and the shared application didn't actually appear to work correctly.
    Flashback was the absolute worst one in that nothing recorded and was limited to 2 minutes - ended up with a 2 minute black video, no sound, nothing, just black.
    Apowersoft requires you to download an application and doesn't actually record much of anything.
    OBS is an absolute powerhouse, and although it didn't work for me, it is a keeper and does much much more than shown here.

    I simply wish to confirm what appears to be the most frequent comments made from viewers of this video. Your video provides excellent and full explanations and demonstrations which are easy to follow. All the information one could want is included without any extraneous commentary so that it is no challenge to watch for those with time constraints.
    I actually just happened to stumble upon your video and wanted to see it immediately because I have been experiencing a recurring problem with a screen recorder that I purchased and have enjoyed using for years before now. I am excited to try a couple of these recommendations and am confident I will find one that is to my liking.
    Thank you very much for the valuable information.

    Thanks a lot for the tips. I use obs studio now for recording games (PC) and its really really nice, no time limit, no watermark, many options for file format/size/downscaling etc, super easy to use after youve done all the settings (took me only 5-10mins to get the hang of it). i just couldnt find an option to play a beep-sound when i start/stop recording, but thats okay. highly recommended!

So I tried some of your other suggestion and found ZOOM was ok but Flashback was even easier to use just for what I needed it to do. Thanks

    Great video as always. I am thinking of changing my recording tool to OBS. In one of your other videos, you recommend some cursor highlighting tools. To you also have a hint for the "best" annotation tool for drawing circles, arrows, frames etc. in different colors during recording (and making this annotations vanish e. g. by clicking ESC) - and recorded by OBS as well?
