Screen Recording Software

Being able to communicate to your audience comes in multiple forms. The written word, audio, and video. Video communication on the web has been increasing with the help of pioneers like YouTube, Twitch, and Udemy.

Why do I need a screen capturing application?

• tutorial videos on YouTube where visitors follow along as you build something cool
• gameplay videos on YouTube with your face in the corner of the screen
• recording your steps so that a developer can reproduce a bug you found
• capturing your screen for training videos
