How to make a screen recording

Clipchamp for personal accounts Clipchamp for work accounts More…Less

In Clipchamp, you can either record your screen or you can record both your screen and webcam together to produce training videos, react videos, presentations, gaming streams, and much more. 

When you record screen and camera together, the recordings are captured simultaneously but they can be adjusted in the editing timeline separately. This means each video can be resized and placed however you like.

For the ideal outcome, recordings will align if you place them on top of each other on the timeline. The webcam recording can then be altered using freehand editing to place it over the screen recording to give a picture-in-picture appearance.

In Clipchamp’s video editor for personal accounts, to take a recording, go to the Record & create tab on the left toolbar.

Next, select either the screen or screen & camera option. Audio will also get recorded through your computer’s microphone, for example, if you want to talk while showing your screen (unless you turn audio recording off).

Note: The screenshots in this article show the screen recorder option. The same steps apply to screen & camera after choosing this option in the initial step.

To begin, open the «Record & create» tab

In this menu, you’ll see the options Screen & camera, Camera, Screen, and Text-to-speech. Select the Screen option.

Allow camera & mic access, start the screen recording

A popup will appear at the top of your screen.

Allow Clipchamp access to use your camera & microphone. If you gave permission to access one or both devices before, the message on the popup can look different to our example screenshot.

Next, start recording your screen by selecting the big red button at the bottom left.

Another popup window will appear with screen recording options. Either record your entire screen, an application window, or a browser tab. We opted to screen record a Chrome tab for this tutorial. Select the tab of your choice, then select Share.

Important: In the Clipchamp Windows app, you will be able to select browser tabs from Microsoft Edge due to the way the Windows app works. To record a Chrome tab, open Clipchamp in Chrome and start a screen recording there.

You will be brought to the screen, window or browser tab you selected to record. After a countdown of beeps, your screen starts actively recording. The computer’s microphone will pick up on your voice, computer sounds or mouse clicking, and any noise around you.

To stop recording your screen, select Stop sharing in the horizontal toolbar that appeared when the recording started.

TIP: If you want to record for longer than the maximum time, try taking several shorter recordings and combining them in the editor later.

Save your screen recording 

After you’ve selected Stop sharing, return to the editor. You can now preview your screen recording with audio. If you’re unhappy with the screen-recorded video, select Retake recording. If you want to use your video, select Save and edit.

Note: If you recorded both screen and camera, there will be 2 files available, one for the screen recording and one for the webcam recording. If you only recorded your screen, there will be one file.

A copy of the recording (in WebM format) will download to your computer, depending on the default settings in place, you can either select a folder to save it in or it will get stored in the Downloads folder automatically.

The clip(s) will also get loaded into the editing project and will automatically be added to the timeline. The audio track of the recording is part of the video.

If there is a screen recording and a camera recording, the 2 files are added to the timeline as a group. You can ungroup them by right clicking on the media on the timeline, then selecting ungroup.

Edit the recording and audio 

You can mute your screen recording audio by clicking on the microphone icon on the clip on the timeline. You can also detach the audio track to edit it separately.

For more information on Clipchamp’s editing tools, see the How to edit a video article.

Adjust the layout

If your recording includes a webcam clip that appears as a separate item on the timeline, you can edit the layout of the video by freely moving your webcam recording around the screen. To do so, drag and drop the camera clip around the preview window in the editor. 

You can also use the editing features on the media’s property panel. These include fit, crop, picture-in-picture, rotate, flip horizontal, and flip vertical.

Export your video 

If you’re finished editing and would like to save the edited project to your computer as an MP4 video, select the Export button in the top right and follow the prompts.

Screen recording with audio is a general need that you might sometimes need to make a video tutorial because the video will be more intuitive to show the operations. You might also need to record a clip of the online video so you don’t need to find a way to download the whole of it. There are more needs, such as to record gameplay, record an important online meeting, etc.

This article teaches two significant ways to record computer screen with audio in Windows 10. One is to use the free inbuilt Windows 10 screen recorder. Another is to record screen with a more professional screen recording software for Windows 10.

Contents

  • Method 1: Record Screen with the Free Built-in Windows 10 Screen Recorder
  • Method 2: Capture Screen with VideoSolo Screen Recorder

Method 1: Record Screen with the Free Built-in Windows 10 Screen Recorder

You might have been using Windows 10 for quite a long time but haven’t known there’s a hidden feature that Windows 10 comes with a screen recording function. You can activate it by pressing Win+G. This function is built into Xbox. It is designed primarily for recording Xbox gameplay but it can also be used to record browser video or capture the activities on the applications.

How to record your screen with the Win10 inbuilt recorder?

Step 1: Press Windows key + G key simultaneously to open the recorder.

Press Win+G to Activate Win10 Screen Recorder

Step 2: In the Xbox game bar panel, you can adjust the volume for the microphone sound and system sound. After that, click on the recording button as highlighted to start recording your work.

Click on the Recording Button

Step 3: The Win10 recorder is recording the screen. You can click the “Stop recording” button when you are going to end the recording process. You’ll find your recorded videos under the “Videos” folder in a subfolder called “Captures“.

Recording with Win10 Inbuilt Screen Recorder

The superiority and inferiority of this free inbuilt screen recording software are quite obvious. The biggest advantage is that it can record “after the fact”. Just imagine you have experienced the best hit in your game playing history but you didn’t turn on the recorder beforehand? You can use the inbuilt recorder to record most recent 30 seconds of gameplay on Windows 10.

However, the shortcoming of this free inbuilt screen recorder is deadly. It doesn’t allow you to record the desktop and the file explorer. In addition to this, you can’t switch to record the activities on different applications.

For example, when you are recording the operation on the Chrome browser, and you switch to another software interface, the recording will automatically stop. That means it is almost impossible to record a video tutorial with the inbuilt Windows 10 recorder.

Don’t worry and keep reading. We will show a more professional way to capture all the screen activities on Windows 10 along with Audio.

Method 2: Capture Screen with VideoSolo Screen Recorder

To record anything that happens on the screen, it is necessary to find a more extensive screen recording software. VideoSolo Screen Recorder is a professional tool that perfectly works on Windows 10/8/7. It can record all the screen activities with system audio and microphone audio, whether it is the operation on desktop, file explorer, or other applications.

With the free version of VideoSolo Screen Recorder, you can record for 3 minutes. However, to record as long as you wish, you need to either buy the Pro version or restart the recording for every 3 minutes. Later you might need to combine them using any video editors.

There are many output formats for you to choose, such as MP4, WMV, MOV, F4V, AVI, TS, GIF. After recording, VideoSolo Screen Recorder enables you to preview and do a simple clip for the video. You can download the free trial to try.
