Whether it is a YouTube tutorial, video presentation for colleagues or a screencast for other purpose, once in a while in the developer workflow you might need to record your screen.
I've mainly worked just with Free Cam and ShareX in the past.
What's your favorite tool to record the screen?

OBS or Loom, depending on if it needs editing
Because OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) can even record live chat, itβs perfect for recording video conferences so you can take notes later.
If supported by your desktop environment, you can even assign a keyboard shortcut to start recording immediately with the latest settings.
Woah thanks!
Hello, after quarantine came into our lives, I've spent like one whole week in finding a good screen recorder to share my demos/project to my teachers... and the best 2 I've found for Windows are:
Have a good day!
I like OBS and ShareX features , but Do you know how to make below video effects, like with all Video Introduction image, Title Text, Colorful Captions, Transition effects etc
Or can we show the effects using a PPT ?

Is there a free Software to Edit Video like above , to make it look professional ?
@madza , Do you any free software as i asked above ?
One of the best and the feature rich software would be After Effects, it's paid, tho.
Here are some alternatives, some of them are free.
Mac has a built-in screen recorder with
Shift+Cmd+5
so that's what I use. I use iMovie for any minor edits that need to be done.I rarely work with video, so pre-installed apps with limited feature sets work just fine for me.
I use OBS as most of the people in here.
I've recently come across gifcap that allows you to record GIFs from your browser super quickly - and it's open source!
Just press
Windows + G
if you are a Windows 10 user!You will poped up with inbuilt Xbox screen recorder, and their quality is Insane.
So I've tried a lot when I was a Dev Advocate but I've settled on using Microsoft Teams in a meeting by myself and recording that way. You can do the same with zoom as well. It's low tech and just works for my needs of recording my voice and screen as I got through steps or discuss a topic.
OBS, and then Davinci Resolv if any editing needs to be done. Some things that graphics and titles can be done live in OBS instead of in Post. The results are usually good enough to save you time in editing.
I personally like utilizing my elgato HD60s and the Xsplit software (may be called something else as I haven't used it in over a year). StreamlabsOBS and OBS are free equivalent software. But that's for streaming or video recording. As for screen sharing I don't. Never had a need. I would assume Skype, or something similar, would be good enough.
I use Quicktime it does the job. If I wanted something even more advanced then I would try something else.
