Need a quick way to record your screen with or without sound? Fast Screen Recorder captures a full display, multiple screens, or a custom area, with options for microphone and system audio.
Capture area and audio
Choose the whole screen, multiple displays, or a rectangular section of the desktop. The capture area can include or exclude the taskbar, which lets a recording focus on an app or show the surrounding desktop.
Audio controls let you select microphone input, system sound, both together, or no audio. That covers narrated demonstrations, recordings of computer playback, and silent captures.
Timers, shortcuts, and screenshots
Set an auto-stop duration for a recording that should end on its own. Customizable keyboard shortcuts handle starting, pausing, resuming, and stopping, without needing to return to the recorder controls each time.
A screenshot can be captured with a key press during a recording or outside a recording session.
MKV recording and conversion
Recordings are saved in MKV format. Fast Screen Recorder can convert them to MP4, MOV, AVI, or WMV for video playback and sharing, or to MP3 when an audio file is needed.
