I want to show you how you can record your computer screen and a webcam at the exact same time it's completely free it works across Windows Mac and Linux whatever your OS. 

This will work ok well let's jump to your desktop and what you're going to do first is you're going to open up a browser so I'm just going to open up anew browser. we're gonna go to the website OBS project comm now you have lots of different screen recording software out there you have things like David, you have Camtasia many of them cost money some of them have ads some of them even have malware ob8 OBS this is something that when you read different forums and you ask about what is the best screen recording software this is one that always bubbles up to the top and this is one that people tend to universally recommend first up if you're gonna choose the operating system that you're on I happen to be on a windows computer so I'm gonna click on windows and then the download will kickoff so here in the bottom left-hand corner you see that the install is going on so I'm just gonna let that complete if I had a gigabyte internet connection this would be done already my Internet'snot that fast so we just gonna sit here and wait a little bit I feel like we need to play the jeopardy music or something like that and um um I think it's done now all right here you want to allow this app to make changes to your device yes I do so I'm going to minimize my browser and I'm just gonna go through the install steps here I get a license agreement looks good so let's go with it and it's just telling me where it's installing it's gonna be about two hundred thirty-four megabytes it's gonnabe OBS studio sure let's go ahead and install and that's extracting the package and installing the app and as soon as it's done what I'm gonna do I'm gonna say that I want to launch it as soon as this finishes installing I hope all of you are going to be recording fun things like hopefully we're gonna be playing games with a webcam on there or maybe you're doing tutorials like this one so here it looks like it finished installing I'm going to go ahead and lot this will bring up OBS studio so this is the default screen that you get when you first launch it might look a little complex but stick with it I'll walk you through how to set it up so you record your screen and webcam at the same time so the first thing that we're gonna do is you'll see that a scene set up you also see that you have sources so what we want to do first is we're gonna click on the plus button because we want to add a source so let me click on plus and what we want to do is first we want to capture the desktop here so I'm gonna go down and this is called display capture this option here is my display that's what we're capturing so I'm gonna click on display capture I'll look sure I'll leave the default name that we have and then here it pulls in my display into there and it looks like it shows me the resolution that it's recording it and I'm gonna click on OK so there you can see what the screen the recording is gonna capture soI have my display there but I don't yet have my webcam so how do we get the webcam on there and what we're gonna do is click on the plus button again for sources this time I'm gonna go down to blog capture a device that's what's referred to as my webcam it's a blog capture device I'm gonna click on that I'll just leave the default name there and what's nice is it detects that I have this Microsoft LifeCam HD 5000 connected to my computer so I'll just go ahead with that one I could also go through I could configure the blog I could adjust the different settings but all of that looks great so I'm gonna click on OK now you can see my desktop here and it shows my desktop image in the back then I have this webcam image whats kind of neat is I could drag this around so I could make it really big so you get lots of Kevin hey guys or me can make it smaller so here I'm gonna make it smaller a lot of times what gamers do they'll kind of create like a little square and then you put it down in the bottom right-hand corner and then you know I just have this little square down there a few of the other things that I wanted to walk through let's click on the file and I'm gonna go up to settings a few other things that you should know is I'll click on output one of the things you'll see here is by default you have these different recording formats by default it goes to FLV I like your recording to mp4 because the blog editing software that I use accepts mp4files I'm going to go ahead and select that and then you can also see where it puts your blog files so here it's sending it to my C Drive to users Kevin and then blogs here I can also browse it and see where the blogs go.

But that all looks good to me but what we're also going to take a look at is you'll see in this mixer area you have a few different options I have my desktop this is if I'm playing a game or if I'm running a program that's basically the system audio or the machine the sound from the computer I also have this auxiliary down here and you'll see that this is this you eat this color bars going up and down this is my microphone for my webcam so I could adjust the volume by moving this scroll bar down here but I'll just leave it on high so I get both the camera audio and then I also get the system audio on there and then over on the right-hand side I can click on start recording so I'm gonna go ahead and hit start recording and oops I'm gonna click on start recording and now it's recording my screen so if I minimize it won't see the webcam down there but the webcam is very much recording since we're since this is a blog we're gonna record my screen and capture blog I'm gonna load up a game here this is the game that I recently picked up called Park attacked it's a similar rollercoaster tycoon but you build an amusement park so here we are you should hear the audio from the game you should also hear me talking as well I'm gonna go and load a part that I worked on before mystic oasis this is a theme park in the desert and I feel like since I'm doing one of these screen recording blogs with my webcam I should add some interesting commentary as I'm playing my game but here we are on my big map you can see my amusement parklet's say I'm gonna turn off my speakers that sound doesn't mess with my voice recording but here you can see this theme park I've built here's a winged-coaster look at that thing flying around and you should see the picture down there and oh boy look at that freefall tower man that thing would be scary to go on I wonder how am I how much are we charging people to go on this charging them six dollars to go on this ride that's kind of pricey but hopefully, it's fun and then here's a free fall coaster so there's little the section that just goes straight down so that's pretty intense but yeah so this is my muse my Parkhope you guys like it ok so enough of the enough of the playing, we're gonna go back to the desktop may be one of these days I'll do some game playing we'll see and put up blogs so I'm gonna go ahead and quit this and go back to the desktop so I'm going to open up the OBS software again here you can see I'm back on my desktop and I'm gonna click on the stop recording and that that now successfully recorded that game that segment that I was playing but this will work in any type of application if you're in a full-screen game it'll work if you're in an application and work if you're in the browser so any type of software it'll be able to capture so I stopped the recording what I could do is if I click on the file menu I'm gonna click on show recordings and here's my recording I'm gonna pull that up real quick yeah so there you see I'll turn the speakers back on so there you. I can hear myself talking but here I could go through it I could see the game and so there you see my blog on top of the screen capture and so it kind of worked just as expected and probably not really the best game blog person right now but we could work on that but yeah so that's as simple as it is OBS studio it's an OBS studio great piece of software like I said before it's free it's open-source no ads it's very powerful even beyond just blog the recording you could also do things like streaming onto twitch or Facebook YouTube it also doesn't live streaming it's extremely powerful but this is just some of the simple functionality that you could use to capture your computer screen and also get a webcam on there at the same time kind of a cool combination anyway I hope you found this blog useful if you love it if you could share a blog that you make using this feel free to post it in the comments.
