How to Record a Video on a PC, Step by Step
Record a video on a Windows PC: pick a camera or the screen, check the sound, press Record and find the file in your Videos folder.
The short answer
Pick what to record, watch the sound meter move when you speak, then press Record. Press Stop and the file is waiting in your Videos folder.
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
Where is my recording saved?
In your Videos folder by default. You can choose a different folder in the recording settings.
