Recorders
Record Video With a USB Webcam on Windows
Record video from a USB webcam on Windows. Pick the camera, set the picture size and record to a file on your PC.
The short answer
Plug in the webcam, choose it as a camera, check the preview and press Record. The video is saved on your PC.
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
My webcam does not show up. What now?
Close other apps that use the camera, unplug and replug it, then choose it again in the camera list.
Want all of this in one app?
