The 3 best tools to record video of our Windows 10

Camtasia Studio

How to take a screenshot in Windows 10 It is something that we have learned for years, we only need one key on our keyboard to do it and Windows takes care of the rest. But we can also make videos that record what happens, the so-called screencasts. However, Windows 10 does not have tools that capture the movements and actions we perform on our desktop. For this we need to use a program that captures in video format.

There are many tools on the market that perform this task, but many of them are either not free or do not work properly. Next we are going to talk about three tools that perform this function exceptionally and that we can get for little money or for free.

Camtasia Studio

Camtasia Studio

This tool is the queen of its sector. Camtasia Studio is not only a video editing application but it also allows us to capture the desktop and anything that happens on our monitor. Camtasia Studio allows us create videos in various formats and extensions, something useful if we want to upload the recording to platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo or DailyMotion or if we want to use compressed video to upload it to a personal website. Camtasia Studio also allows us create zones of our monitor and create videos of those zones created, that is, record part of our screen. Unfortunately Camtasia Studio has a fairly high price, 189 euros, which is a significant expense for certain users, but in return the result of our videos will be professional.

VLC

VLC

Yes, many will be surprised, but the multimedia content player, VLC, also has a desktop capture function or allows you to record videos. VLC is a free tool and allows us to make videos from our monitor but it is not as complete as Camtasia Studio. The creation of recording zones is not possible and the number of formats in which you create videos is not as varied as in Camtasia Studio. In this case we can solve it with format converters, but the quality will not be as good as the original. And if we want to edit the video, we will need another tool to do it since it does not allow video editing. Although to record simple videos it is very useful.

Ezvid

Ezvid Video Editor

Ezvid is a free application that is responsible for recording videos from our screen. It is a great alternative to Camtasia Studio, at least an Open Source alternative that we can get from its official website . Ezvid allows us to create videos and edit them. Supports export in various types of videos and also allows us create areas of the screen that we can record or areas that are not recorded. Ezvid is a very interesting solution for those who are looking for something more than VLC but do not have the money to buy Camtasia.

Conclusion on these screen recording tools

These are the best tools that exist to record video or make videos of our screen, but there are others. There are browser extensions that record the screen, there are free applications, there are paid applications but no account with as much support as these three applications. And this is a plus because it will allow us to find tutorials, help with problems, etc ... Now Which one do you choose?
