Important Changes From 8.0.0
The earlier Free Screencast application had a different implementation. Do not assume its webcam overlays, simultaneous system/microphone mix, daily scheduler, timeline trimming or six output choices are present on the new main recorder.
Free Screencast 8.1.0 requires Windows 11 22H2 or later on an x64 PC. Its runtime is included.
Window records the selected window’s initial rectangle on your screen. Keep that window visible, uncovered and in the same position. It does not follow a moved or minimized window or capture it in the background.
The simple recorder selects one DirectShow audio source at a time and defaults to No audio. System sound needs an appropriate Stereo Mix, loopback or virtual capture device that is already available on your PC. An ordinary microphone records microphone sound. This package does not install an audio helper driver or mix microphone and system audio together.
