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?

I use Peek to record gifs.
quickTime Player on Mac OS
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.
OBS or GotoMeeting (web version - this obviously applies if it is an online presentation that I want to record).
Just press
Windows + Gif you are a Windows 10 user!You will poped up with inbuilt Xbox screen recorder, and their quality is Insane.
SimpleScreenRecorder on Linux. Simple and powerful tool.
Screencastify, a chrome/edge extension. Sync with my Drive account for instant sharing.
Windows key+G in windowws give an inbuilt mode for recording.
The quality is very nice and easy enoughยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
How about phone camera ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐
I use Kap Open Source screen recorder or built in Mac recorder
QuickTime (macOS).
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.
For Linux - I use Peek - it has a simple, clean interface and can save as GIF, APNG, MP4, or WebM
As many others in the comments, Iโve also been using OBS for some time now.
Besides using it in all my YouTube videos, also used it for streams on Twitch and other platforms.
Works like a charm!
Win + G. It's built in :)
