Why I find OBS to be so hard to get my recording work
Worth mentioning that you could use MS PowerToys to highlight your cursor location while using a screen recorder.
Kevin i did the Apowersoft one but there is a limit of 1 minute its trying to force me to do the trial. U said there is no time limits.
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?
You are an life savior for the people who fake having an channel and just want to record themselves for fun 😢
i used to do this and im pretty sure one of my friends does this still. Dont blame ya
I WAS JUST TRYING TO DO THAT! 🤣🤣
if you don't have a channel click on your icon and go to TH-cam studio and boom TH-cam channel
I actually thought the Kevin cookie company had a screen recorder

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. 😀😀
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! 👍🏼
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.
Wow, finally a TH-cam provider who has insightful and useful content. Thanks a ton. Really great.
ikr
grandpa!!! hahaha

YES i needed a screen recorder for my Arsenal Videos and Roblox screen recorder is just OH MAN ITS TRASH and i need quality
@@guyfrommars1110 HOLY CRAP I FOUND A ARSENAL PLAYER IN HERE WHAT?
I saw your excel video on lists and now learning from your screen recorder favorites. You have a knack for teaching.
how you are able to sync so fast & smoothly with demonstartion is really brilliant. Love it
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.
No one asked why u liked his vids-

thanks man i needed OBS bro keep up the great work man👍
That's an excellent review. No time is wasted and you get straight into the functions. Thanks very much.
Hey Jason.that was exactly my thoughts.😀
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.
This is actually super helpful because there are a bunch out there but it is nice to see the best options :)
i dont see the link in desc
Also there are a lot of fake ones that are viruses
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.
@@smartgaming3534 yes i found out stubborn way
Prepare to be memed
back in and recently got soft soft again, it felt strange and i had previously just taught myself the software. Finding your videos is helping
This can really help a lot since im a bit of a youngin starting a channel, appreciate the software recommendations
Very professional and clear overview of the different options, nicely done!
Exactly what I have been searching for this week. Thanks Kevin
Thank you for the recommendations! Very thorough reviews.
Very helpful. Got exactly what I needed with your clear and concise explanation.
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.
Another video which actually adds value and is truly beneficial to watch and learn.
Kevin you the best TH-camr 👌
what about gramer no grammerly will help as well XD

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. ☮
Excellent video! Everything I was looking for and incredibly intuitive!! Thanks Kevin!!!
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.
xbox bar is not working continuously showing error ...................how can i fix this error

XBox doesn't work. Recording button is greyed out.
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.
I always find your videos very clean and educative, in fact life saving.
Thank you for the great work you put in
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.
Hello David, can you share with me apowersoft link.
Thanks.
Does OBS free not have a recording limit?
@@teriyaky22 No it doesn't have a recording limit.
@@davidcowan5993 Man, you are a star.
Yes. This annoyed me too.
I’ve probably watched more than 1000 videos on TH-cam and this by far the most useful and helpful video ever🙌💯And explained perfectly🔥
Awesome, thank you!
fr tho
@@KevinStratvert Hi Im a Big Fan Of Yours Kevin....
✨Facts✨
yes definitely
Omg, Thank you so much, Kevin. loved it
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!
Hi - I am badly struggling with the OBS Settings - any guidelines ?
@@anabadyaneogi2885 What struggles are you having? I might be able to find resources or even guide you if needed!
This was an extremely helpful video thank you Kevin!
I never knew i have a recorder already on my laptop, thank u for this vid
Very professional. Obviously well thought out. Clear and flawless flow of information. This video was really helpful.
Exactly my thoughts
agreed
topic request: writing a TH-cam vide script; filming, editing and pusblishing. Your explanations are so great, love to see your approach on this. Keep up the good work.
Kevin, you make your tutorials magnetic and thus unavoidable. Great you!
This was so useful for a beginner, very clear and practical- thank you.
yh true im trying to begin a yt channel
thank you Kevin for this topic, really helped me.
Outstanding, Kevin. Your channel will my tech review go-to from now on.
I already have OBS and didn't know I could use that, Thank you!
Thank you. I will try the Control G feature today after I finish playing TH-cam.
@tomsnow It actually windows logo+G
Kevin makes everything easy and understandable 🙌👏
THANKS 😊
Thank you so much for making this video, I've been trying to find a good screen recorder for a while, and I finally found one thanks to you.
Kevin! Thank you very much! Your tutorials are always very informative and helpful! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much Kevin!! I think I'll use flashback express as I have always wanted to create a gaming channel and I think it fulfills my needs!!
Kevin - once again you saved the day for me! I couldn't get Game Box to work on my laptop (probably locked down by my company) and needed to make a video of an issue I've been having to send to support. The Zoom approach worked like a charm, and allowed me to narrate.Thank you!!
As always fast, very informative, well documented and very useful videos. Thank you so very much, Kevin, for this truly helpful upload. Please keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for the first one... it really helped.
Exactly what I wanted! thanks
exactly what I needed, best TH-camr who isn't fake, thanks a ton.
this helped a lot man thanks
Very , very helpful ! Thanks a lot !
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!
me too
trying to setup my office for training videos
Thank you so much for this video, now I can record gameplay easily!
Solid video. Very informative. Great contact keep up the great work!
Thank you for the review. Big help!
Thank you Kelvin, finally found something useful I can use.
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.
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?
Problem solved! Even the first suggestion satisfies me already. Thanks man!
This is my first time watching you, and you are great(and in my fyp) GREAT VIDEO!
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
At 0:37, I thought the first screen recorder was Kevin Cookie Company. Scared me in a way!
Oh God imagine the Kevin Cookie Company screen recorder
@@fancydoinkr2782 LOL just cookies everywhere
Me too
@@fancydoinkr2782 lol

This was very helpful. Very well explained. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Kevin. This helps a lot.
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!
Flasback Xpress be trash imma use xbox gamebar
e
true, you also cant use pc sounds without paying
don't waste time. just use the last one. OBS. it's really the best. u need to play around with it as it's quite advanced, but it's not hard either.
@@Hendric It doesn't work for me lol
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!
thank you for summarizing this video for me
Just letting you know you can only record up to 2 hours
My only issue with the game bar recorder right now is the fps is horrendous
Very helpful! Thanks.
Great video. Thanks Kevin
Very nice and useful video Kevin 👍
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
I got hacked off of that
of what?
@@LakeShortss
Im starting out and this helps tysm Kevin!
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
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?
thx i really needed this
thank you! i used the xbox one, my laptop already had it and i didnt know! it works really well
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.
Nice job straight to the point...Thanks
Hey kev thanks man was searching a free app for a long time ur video was really helpful
@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!
Obs is good but is too much of an assle, you gotta do soo many things in order to set it, when all y want is to press a key and record.
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!
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you! OBS is working awesome for me, liked and subscribed.
I started using OBX on your recommendation, Kevin, and it's been a fantastic tool. I've also used the Gaming and Zoom options in the past. I'll try the other ones, but I think I will probably stick with OBS in the end ...
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!
What are you using now?
@@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 didn't know this feature of the Xbox Game Bar, thank you
This is such an Amazing video ser. Thanks for making this 🎉
Flash back thing is a lie, i have a 2 min limit
Then, it wasn’t a lie, it didn’t have a limit.

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 dont think you can but you can adjust it in editing
it does
