Screen Recorder Windows Tools to Capture Desktop Actions

December 16, 2014

Screen recorder tools are handy when you want to capture something that you are doing on your desktop to share it with others. For instance, you may want to teach someone how to use a program or demonstrate a walkthrough using your Windows PC and screen recorder tools will make the task easier to accomplish. When you have saved the recording, you can share them with others or upload it to your website or YouTube. We’ve covered tools to capture screenshots on your PC before, now its time to take a look at some free screen recorder Windows 8 tools.

If you are doing a one off video recording, using a free screen recorder tool is okay. However, most free screen recorder tools tend to add a watermark to the images. If you intend to video record stuff on a regular basis, it is better to pick up a premium tool that adds a professional touch to your recordings.

Screencast-O-Matic

Screencast-O-Matic (SOM) lets you record your screen and then watch your previews after it is done. The recording process is simple enough and you can upload your video directly to YouTube or to the Screencast-O-Matic website if you are satisfied with everything. You also have options to save the file in MP4, AVI, FLV, or GIF format on your computer. SOM does have a one click capture recording, but its interface isn’t the most intuitive one and it does leave a watermark on published videos. You also get only a maximum of 15 minutes recording with the free version. You can go for the feature rich Pro version if you like for $15 a year.
