Tryingto use the Windows game bar to record (see -to-video-screen-capture-windows-10), I find that it only records the most recent windows clicked on before hitting the game bar hotkey (perhaps I am using the feature incorrectly).

My actual use case is that I have dual monitors: one large, where I want to record several windows to demonstrate something, and a laptop screen, where I have a script I need to read from (so need to capture audio as well). I then edit these videos in the Photos video editor. I want to record the entire screen of the larger monitor. How can I do this in Windows 10?


I was doing this with Python and Qt (see Python overlay window) but then I switched to Java and Swing. However I'm not able to make the window transparent. I tried this method but it doesn't work, however I think that my system supports the transparency because if I start Screencast-O-Matic (which is in Java), the rectangle is actually transparent.


Why did the Java tutorial How to Create Translucent and Shaped Windows fail to work? Are you using the latest version of Java 6 or Java 7?In the May/June issue of Java Magazine, there was a tutorial on shaped and transparent windows requiring java 7. You will probably need to sign up for Java magazine in order to read it. See if you can get this to run on your system:

OBS Studio is a free application for video recording and live streaming without watermark or time limit. It is much preferred by hardcore gamers for broadcasting their live gameplay footage. Using OBS Studio, you can capture not only the entire display or a window but also from webcam and microphone. When it comes to streaming, the program lets you select which desktop applications and audio sources to be shared, as well as create layered videos for webcam.


While OBS Studio is a versatile app for capturing screen, it integrates no video editor. You need to employ another tool if you want to edit your recorded video. As a side note, as OBS Studio is an open-source program, you should be careful not to download the program from any website but the official site.


Flashback Express is a at no cost app that can record screen, webcam, and sounds. It neither sets time limit on recording nor stamps watermark on the output videos. If you are running this software on a multi-monitor system, you can either record screens across multiple monitors or limit capturing to a single monitor. You can also make use of scheduled recordings to start and stop recording at scheduled times or when a specified application is launched.

Even when combining with Bandicut, a video cutter from the same company, you can only trim, split, and join recordings. The free version has a recording limit of 10 minutes per video with watermark added.

Icecream Screen Recorder by Icecream Apps is a good choice if you are looking for a screen recorder with very basic video editing features in Windows 10. In fact, the paid version of this software includes only the ability to trim the beginning and end of recordings. This is highly limited but can be enough when you want simple screencasts.


Icecream Screen Recorder comes with two versions: free and paid. The free version limits you to 5 minutes of recording time with only one output video format (WEBM) and video codec (VP8). Meanwhile, the paid version includes AVI, MP4, and MOV as well as H.264 and MPEG-4 codecs. Apart from no watermark added like the free version, the paid version supports scheduled recordings, custom watermarks, and trimming features.
