Screen recording with narration- for windows
-
That's a new one on me. I followed the instructions, hit Win-G and got a little pop-up message that says "
You'll need a new app to open this ms-gamingoverlay link". It's got an OK button that is disabled, and nothing else. Now, I've not clicked a "link", I've pressed a Windows key combination. OK, so I'll need a new "app" - what one and where do I find it? Or even how do I find what application? (and don't patronise me by dumbing everything down to "apps") WTF is the point of showing me a dialog with one button that's disabled!? Until recently, I used my free copy of Jing (from TechSmith) to record voice-annotated movies, which it saved as Flash files. That is, of course, until Microsoft deleted tools for playing Flash - without my consent or notification, on the basis they were "insecure". Including the ones I'd created myself or had proven safe from many years ago. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: PS apologies for going off at a massive tangent. But if something's free and "included" with Windows, why doesn't it work???? -
I've used OBS Studio[^] and it is very good and free.
I second that. I've created videos for Pluralsight using OBS Studio, so it's a perfectly fine bit of software. The best part about it is you can mix EVERYTHING If your PC can see it or hear it, it can record it and/or live stream it. I routinely produce videos for the local history club where I put a green screen behind me, mask out my background, then lay the computer screen on that, while I have my Web Camera image of myself down in the bottom corner. I've also used it to mix in Skype/Zoom/Teams etc into my live desktop and camera to produce multi person cameras. If you have several monitors, you can set each monitor up for different parts, then seamlessly switch between them, it's a doddle to do, and stupid powerful for what it is.
