Need to record a tutorial, a webinar or one app window, with your voice and webcam included? ZdSoft Screen Recorder captures a chosen area, the full screen or a single window, and can even save a recording as a standalone EXE that plays without extra codecs.
Screen area and window capture
Choose what appears in the recording: a defined part of the desktop, the entire display, or a particular window. That choice suits different recordings, from demonstrating one application to documenting activity across the full screen.
The recorder can stay hidden in the taskbar while capturing, keeping its controls out of the desktop workspace. This is especially relevant when the recorded activity needs to remain visible without the recorder covering it.
Webcam and audio sources
ZdSoft Screen Recorder can capture webcam video along with screen activity. Microphone input and system audio are also supported, covering narration, a speaker's image, and sound from the computer as possible parts of a recording.
- Use microphone audio for spoken explanations.
- Capture system audio for sound produced during a demonstration, webinar, or gameplay session.
Output format options
The program provides several choices for the finished recording's format. One option creates a self-executable file, which is intended for situations where playback may be affected by missing codecs. Pick the output when saving, depending on whether the file is for editing, uploading or sending to someone else.
