OBS Studio

Open Broadcaster Software, aka OBS Studio is a powerful and free screen recorder that works with Windows and Macs. It also enables you to cast audio, making it the complete package, and a definite winner on the affordability front.

The interface is clean and easy to navigate, whilst offering lots of options like adding different sources, capturing specific windows, and loads more. There is also real-time video and audio mixing available, which helps you to exclude any unwanted noise through suppression.

Free Cam

As the name suggest, Free Cam is a totally free of charge video and audio capture software. You’d expect most free services to include a catch, like featuring a watermark or logo on your recordings. With Free Cam, this isn’t the case!

The interface is intuitive and easy to use. This simple screen recorder allows you to capture visuals with ease, and gives you high quality, professional results.

ShareX

ShareX is a fantastic open source software that offers almost as many custom features as some great paid options. Compatible with Windows, it is geared mainly towards developers, which means its user face can feel a little advanced.

This is a potentially steeper learning curve than some other free options, but it certainly pays off once you get to grips with it!

Debut Video Capture

Debut Video Capture is a great Windows friendly screen recorder. It also enables you to record audio from your built-in microphone, making demo clips or chatty streams a breeze. You can record videos in a variety of formats, including avi, wmv, flv, mpg, mp4, mov and more.

Choosing what you record is on the cards, as this software records full screen, specific windows, or even a selected section of the screen. Recording time is unlimited, and you won’t be lumbered with any annoying watermarks.

My Screen Recorder Pro

Not a completely free option, My Screen Recorder Pro offers a free trial to allow you to dip your toe. This software is packed full of features that’ll let you record anything on your screen, including the full thing.

You can record your webcam or mobile screen in high definition whilst recording your desktop. It’s a strong choice for any streamer wanting to capture a whole load of content. If you’re looking to trial a high level software before making an investment, this would be a good choice for you. Once the trial has ended, you can purchase My Screen Recorder Pro for £95.24, so not too expensive if you intend to use it plenty.
