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 usually stick to the inbuilt screen capture of macOS and when I used to work with windows I usually went with Bandicam
OBS or Loom, depending on if it needs editing
Because OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) can even record live chat, it’s 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!
Zscreen recorder and its pretty good
Screenflow
ShareX (getsharex.com/)
OBS
I used to just use QuickTime, but have since switched to Loom and love it.
I use Quicktime it does the job. If I wanted something even more advanced then I would try something else.
OBS
Definitely OBS, it gives you possibility of "live" editing like changing scenes with transitions or overlay stuff on video sources.
Kazam and StreamYard
Mac has a built-in screen recorder with
Shift+Cmd+5so 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.
For short recordings as GIFs, ScreenToGif
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.
Loom has never let me down!
