How to Record a Video on a Laptop
Record a video on a Windows laptop with the built-in camera, your screen or both, and save the file on your laptop.
The short answer
Choose the laptop camera, the screen or both in Streamdzy, check the sound meter, and press Record. The video is saved on the laptop.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Choose what to record: the whole screen, one window, a browser tab, or a camera. The choice is under Recordings.
- Turn on your microphone if you want your voice. It is saved on its own track.
- Press Record, and use Mark at the moments you want to find again.
- Press Stop. The session folder holds the finished file, each source, and the log of marks.
What to know first
Recordings use your PC’s disk, so check the free space before a long session. For calls and meetings, get everyone’s agreement before you record. Other people’s rules still apply.
Questions
Can a laptop record video for a long time?
Yes, as long as there is free disk space and the laptop is plugged in. Check the space before a long recording.
