How to record part of screen videos

Views : 2499 Replies : 1 Likes : 0 #1

While chatting with my friends online, I always want to record them within a specified area of my computer screen to make my videos clearer and more effective. I’ve tried several programs which are hard to use, and the output videos aren’t clear enough. It’s really frustrated that I couldn’t find an appropriate screen recorder. What free screen recording software do you know? It will be better if it is easy to use. Any suggestion is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have encountered the same question,too. There are many occasions where you may want to record within a customized region on your PC. It can not only protect your desktop privacy, but also focus what you are trying to present. As you mentioned above, it is difficult to find proper recording software among plenty of programs, you may even find some apps are fraud and mess you up. No worries, here I’ll show you two ways to capture part of screen for free, you can try both of them and find which is better.

Way1: Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recorder
It’s an awesome screen recorder which supports to record specified area videos so that the rest of your computer screen aren’t showing on the recording, you can use it to record desktop activities, menus and cursor actions. Moreover, it provides two modes include Region and Around mouse to record part of screen, and you can drag the mouse to select recording area according to your requirements.

Way2: Camstudio
As far as I know, Camstudio is a professional screen video recorder that allows you to capture a particular region for free. It provides various modes for you to choose from: Region, Fixed Region and Window. If you choose Fixed Region under Region menu, you will be able to enter parameters indicating the position and the size of desired screen recording area, which is a distinctive feature compared with Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recorder.

Although it’s great for capturing part of screen in different modes, it still has some disadvantages in using it. For instance, lots of users reflected that all they can see was a black screen with audio when replayed the output video. Besides, the interface isn’t intuitive, so it may be complicated to operate it for a green hand.

With both programs, you can capture any area of desktop without a buck.
