Hello Kevin, thank you for the teaching. I've got stucked at the first one the Game Bar App it's telling me that 'No gaming functions available' and recording it's not possible. what to do?
Xbox game bar doesn't work if you are out of a game, and when you leave or arent in a game it just stops the recording and flashbang express only records your microphone if you dont pay for it and apowersoft DO HAVE A TIME LIMIT, you only have 1 MINUTE TO RECORD
Is there any software that I can use to record screen on the background so that I can do the other stuff using my computer? For example, I record the pre-recorded videos from my browser which I can't download it.
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. ☮
Awesome video, Kevin! Thanks a bunch! You explain so many things thoroughly and clearly - your channel has become my “go to” source for computer lessons! 👍🏼
Why do I like Kevin's videos? 1) He is extremely genuine in his approach. 2) His video's are extremely easy and simple to follow. 3) He explains concepts in a way that an average person can understand. 5) He is extremely friendly and pleasant in his videos. I have recently started a channel and I use him as my inspiration to make my technology videos.
I thought Flashback Express was a good option but after downloading it a two minute recording limit stopped me cold. I don't think I seen a video I wanted to record that was under 2 minutes. I think the OBS is pretty complicated for a non tech guy but I'm going to stick with it until I give up. Thanks for the options. Providing the links was very useful.
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.
You're not the only one that isn't happy about it. I used to use it to record international versions of movies, and now I can't even do that anymore. I don't know what they were thinking
Cecilia - did you find something to replace it based on Kevin's video? I am taking an online course and need to record as well. I have quickly learned that online may not be for me... I need to listen again in order to get it. If you have a simple solution, please share. Thanks!
@@gawsss I bite the bullet got the lifetime version of ApowerRec. Have been using it for the past 10 months. Didn't regret. I used the software at least 10-15 times per month to record online courses. Very convenient, easy to use.
I used to love Apowersoft free, used it all the time, but the free version was recently altered so that previous advantages now appear to be only available via a hefty yearly subscription. I also think that OBS is a good free substitute. Thanks for this video tutorial Kevin.
Hi Kevin. This was one of the best tutorial videos that I have ever watched. Straight to the point with no beating around the bush with small talk. Definitely going to watch your other videos.well done. 😀😀
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!
hey! you can easily fix this if you look up some tutorials on youtube! if your game is smooth, but the recording isn't, then try running OBS studio in Administrator mode and try again!
Flashback Express seems to be different than this video in so far as it's telling me (I haven't made a video yet) that 1) my trial expires in 10 days and to buy the upgrade to 2) remove watermarks. I imagine had they done it this way back when you made the video then you would've excluded it as it doesn't meet your criteria.
Thank you for introducing OBS in your previous videos. I've been using it for several months now but a month ago, whenever I record there is this recorded voice that keeps on saying "trial version". How can I set that off? I just hope I can get an answer. God bless.
Thanks Kevin ! This is exactly what I was looking for. A simple crisp inclusive tour through screen-recording. Many thanks. I will try the inbuilt Xbox Game Bar first and then try them all till I find the best and easiest to operate while being busy with my Online Presentations.
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 needed a screen recorder for an online class I'm taking today, and I just googled it figuring it would be easier to find one, since almost every time I do that most websites share the same opinion on which ones are among the best, but not this time, every blog gave different options, and then I said well then a youtube video will do, again different options, and above all this one was the most simple and best, congratulations on this master piece, very helpful, thanks a lot. Keep it simple, since best things in life are simple and free.
Hi Kevin, I was wondering if OBS could show an overlay while recording that shows a border around the part of the screen that you capture? I'd like to see it so I know what is in the frame and what isn't.
I am sorry but in 2024 Nothing you presented is useful. I tried all of them. OBS seems to work but it is very buggy, and is more frustrating to use because recordings get frozen.
This is super helpful, thanks! Also, I don’t use OBS because it takes up lots of CPU power. My recordings turn out all choppy and glitchy. It’s not OBS, but my trash laptop, lol!
These are good options, but i would like to say that by using the game bar, your video files are massive. Like i recorded a 15- minute video and the file was 1 gigabyte
Is there any software that I can use to record screen on the background so that I can do the other stuff using my computer? For example, I record the pre-recorded videos from my browser which I can't download it.
Thanks Kevin! That was pretty awesome. I've been using Snagit, but half the time I lose the video after the recording (with the free version), so I'm over it and am looking for a new tool. You mentioned that you use other tools for editing and so forth along with OBS. I'd like to know what tools you use. Your videos are always so well done. Even if they're paid versions, I want to know how you're set up (what microphones, etc.) as I'm trying to set up my office to record training videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions Kevin. I found OBS to offer inferior audio quality and the lack of a pop-up window while recording was a dealbreaker for me. Apowersoft hotkey feature not available in the free version Flashback express free doesn't record pc audio. So, I will work with XBOX. Thanks again for your help!
Ill try the Flashback Express recorder because I don't really need to edit my videos, Thanks Kevin! I will always check your channel if need some help! (Future me: Yay! Thanks Kevin i can record my games for my youtube channel thanks a lot!)
Awesome video, Kevin! Thanks a bunch! You explain so many things thoroughly and clearly - your channel has become my “go to” source for computer lessons! 👍🏼
Hey, Hi Kevin can you update the best free screen recorders? Some of these apps changed drastically and now, I need help in finding one with no watermarks or time limits but with webcam. Can you please update it?
@kevin This is an excellent video and I sort of thought you'd land on OBS. Question though: you mention needing additional tools for annotation and marking to use with OBS. Do you have a list of ones you use in conjunction with OBS? Thanks!
Actually, this video wasnt too helpful. You said in the title "no watermarks" but clearly when you record the apps stay on ur screen as a window and interrupt the recording
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!
I used OBS a few times but something seemed to change probably from an update and my computer was very sluggish and the mic was just not sounding good at all no matter what the mic setting were. 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
I am now switching to OBS studio cause the screen recorder I have used didn't saved my important videos and it was all error and sh*t, but thanks for warning mate, I feel like if I learn with OBS and also will keep my pc optimised and at good level it will be good
This video is obsolete. FlashBack Express now has a 2 min recording limit and the free online recorder has a watermark that can only be removed at cost.
Kevin, thank you very much for this and your many other videos. I find them very helpful. I have a question though: is it at all possible to record a webinar in a browser window (in pure listening mode) while I use the same Windows laptop for my Teams virtual meetings simultaneously and not have the sounds jumble up together?
Kevin your presentation skills are global leadership quality in matters of video messaging. Thank you for this - so compelling watched all the way through to understand that OBS is your go to screen capture software. Well done! Thank you.
i have to use these strange programs because my pc doesnt support obs (edit) this tutorial is literally missleading it says 'free' in the title but it never specified free trial for anything
Hi Kevin. Been following you since your Microsoft days, and I have to say your videos are getting better all the time. This one especially was clear and to the point. Good job. I only have one question...do any of these recorders include a screenshot utility? Sometimes I want a still picture, not necessarily a video.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together -- I found it very helpful. It was surprisingly difficult to get good information like this from my initial web searches.
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?
I aint able to use game bar for that, and ive used it for years, what up with that? edit: my dumbass didnt realized that u had to be in full screen mode, my bad :)

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
I am now switching to OBS studio cause the screen recorder I have used didn't saved my important videos and it was all error and sh*t, but thanks for warning mate, I feel like if I learn with OBS and also will keep my pc optimised and at good level it will be good
I got hacked off of that
of what?
@@LakeShortss
I tried some of them and they were Horrible!! if i tried to record a gameplay nothing would work!!!😤
Kevin makes everything easy and understandable 🙌👏
THANKS 😊
I literally like your tutorials
You made things really easy for me
"I litteraly like" not to be a grammar nazi but yeah that ain't it chief.
This video is obsolete. FlashBack Express now has a 2 min recording limit and the free online recorder has a watermark that can only be removed at cost.
hey Kevin, where did you get your desktop wallpaper, I really want one of those
Deez nutz what
Next Video Suggest: How to fix game bar "sorry your PC doesn't meet hardware requirements for capture" Please make a tutorial how to fix that :C
Kevin, thank you very much for this and your many other videos. I find them very helpful. I have a question though: is it at all possible to record a webinar in a browser window (in pure listening mode) while I use the same Windows laptop for my Teams virtual meetings simultaneously and not have the sounds jumble up together?
Very nice and useful video Kevin 👍
nice video i think i might try flashback sincr i dont need flashback pro cuz i already have capcut installd on my computer
I saw your excel video on lists and now learning from your screen recorder favorites. You have a knack for teaching.
Kevin your presentation skills are global leadership quality in matters of video messaging. Thank you for this - so compelling watched all the way through to understand that OBS is your go to screen capture software. Well done! Thank you.
Flashback Express now demands payment for recording your PC audio and limits the videos to a length of 2min.
True and absolutely heart-breaking :(
@@gayralseitweets It just makes it absolutely useless and a no go.
What video editor do you use Kevin?
I think he saud obs
thank you! i used the xbox one, my laptop already had it and i didnt know! it works really well
i have to use these strange programs because my pc doesnt support obs (edit) this tutorial is literally missleading it says 'free' in the title but it never specified free trial for anything
Hi Kevin. Been following you since your Microsoft days, and I have to say your videos are getting better all the time. This one especially was clear and to the point. Good job. I only have one question...do any of these recorders include a screenshot utility? Sometimes I want a still picture, not necessarily a video.
The Snip & Sketch tool integrated into Windows 10 allows the capture of all or part of the screen.
yes the game bar has
the game bar can
Exactly what I wanted! thanks
Zoom and Apowersoft seems best. Both have annotations option for free
Fun fact : What's funny is that he used a different recorder than all of them he is showing to record t this video
😀
Thank you so much for this video. Have been using Zoom as a screen recorder myself. For a lower config computer, zoom works fantastic
H O W
Something that comes free with Windows - the Snipping tool now records video.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together -- I found it very helpful. It was surprisingly difficult to get good information like this from my initial web searches.
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?
I aint able to use game bar for that, and ive used it for years, what up with that?
edit: my dumbass didnt realized that u had to be in full screen mode, my bad :)
Hey Kevin, could you do a video on how to use google slides and google docs. Would appreciate it
Please Make More Tutorials/Vids Im Always Waiting :)
I liked this but with the flash back express the free purchase says in the stuff no time limits but when I look at the time limit it says 2 min
Obs is the best
I've used all of them and I can confirm obs is by far better than all of them
@@junkbot2918 I tried it a few times
very laggy
@@murangi940 change the settings then
@@junkbot2918 still I.tried
Also obs is still the best in my opinion more options even more quality
"No time limit"
OBS 14 minutes time limit: I know im just to good
I found a free obs app
Roblox screen recorder has 14 minute limit
