Detailed description

Looking for a video recording and live streaming software on Windows? Better Screen Recorder is your answer. By capturing the display, webcam, window, browser and a lot more, it enables you to easily make video tutorials, product demos, share gaming experience and more.

Even better, it’s a free and open source software.

Whether you make a video or do a live streaming, Better Screen Recorder works the same way. You select sources to record webcam, full screen, browser, games, padcasts, films, active applications, even selected area of your screen, and then mix the system sound (speakers, headphones, etc.) and your voice (microphone) in the video.

Better Screen Recorder is integrated with all popular streaming services.

When you use Better Screen Recorder to make a video, by default, it saves your records in .mkv format, but you can always change it to .flv, .mp4, .mov, .ts, or .m3u8 in settings.

FAQ 1 – I cannot record a video and it only shows black screen. How to fix it?
Answer: If you want to record a video by using the Window Capture, and you see only a black screen, the reason is that your PC is using direct3D hardware acceleration to play the video. The solution for this problem is to use the Game Capture source to capture the video player window.

Enjoy professional screen recording and streaming on Windows 10!
