Whether you dedicate yourself to gaming or if you work in marketing, design, programming, or any other similar industry, surely on more than one occasion, you will need to record your screen.
Screen recording can be used to share the best moments of your video games and create tutorials for any application or show step by step how you create a digital work of art. Be that as it may, it will always be good for you to have the best screen recorder of the moment.
1. RecordCast
RecordCast is one of the best screen recorders available online. You don’t even have to install a program or any extension to use it. This saves you much space on your computer or browser. Smart, right?
What I like about this little extension is that you can record not only the browser tab you are selecting but also your desktop or a specific application. Just click the big red Record Free Now button, and you can get started.
Do you want to record audio too? Choose the microphone audio option. The webcam option seemed interesting to me, as you can record a narration of what is happening on the screen.
2. Loom
Loom is a one-click solution for all screen recording requirements. Loom offers support for applications such as Slack, Google, and Outlook. The layout is fairly much the same, where you are able to select between tab or desktop mode and choose whether you want to use the webcam or not.
There are no limits on the number or length of a video using Loom, which is a huge plus. A useful feature is the Flip camera lever that will reverse the view in Webcam mode to eliminate mirroring. However, there is no way to highlight and follow mouse movements or use a pencil to draw attention to particular parts of the video in the free plan. But, you can share videos using a password and trim them within Loom.
3. Hippo Video
If you are a marketer or need a business solution, Hippo Video will help you well. Besides the power to record videos, Hippo Video comes with some advanced features. For example, you can choose the video resolution between 360p and 1080p. You have the option to add a form to capture leads. That is very useful.
Click on the Advanced Settings button, and you’ll see tons of ways to personalize your videos. You are able to change the aspect ratio, video resolution, webcam size, and show or hide markup tools such as click animation, pencil highlighting, and blur certain parts of the screen. The latter is practical for protecting sensitive information like passwords.
You will turn your browser into a recording room with the assistant of one of these best screen recorder tools. Each one has something different to offer. Be sure to take them out for a spin to find out which one is best for your system and needs.
4. VEED
VEED’s Screen Recorder can be installed as a Chrome extension so recording your screen is a click away. It is compatible with computers, tablets, and even mobile phones. You will also have several options when doing screen recording depending on your needs such as Screen & Webcam, Webcam Only, Screen Only, Audio Only, and Slides and Webcam.
After recording, you can edit your video since VEED has also a built-in video editing feature. Although the screen recording is free, the video editing is limited when on Free Plan (up to 50 mb) and there is a watermark too on videos edited and recorded using VEED (but this will be removed soon).
