best screen recorder?

[thehatergator]

what screen recorders do you use?

 

[IncredulousP]

FRAPS, OBS, XSplit to name a few

 

[Kwyjor]

Flashback Express has never done me wrong.

 

[VinsCool]

Simple Screen Recorder does the job.

FRAPS is a resource hog, OBS is good, Shadowplay works too for NVidia GPUs

Plus, FRAPS has a nasty watermark unless you pay

I haven't used a screen recorder in a long time but I always used OBS because it's not stupid

I found OBS to be a pain to record emulators, never could get it to capture things like Dolphin or RetroArch.

TunesBro ScreenGeeker is my favorite. Fast and easy to use

It really depends on the computer you run the thing on. I have tried lots in the past. I no longer use Fraps as it's a drain on my machine. OBS was ok but I did have issues with a choppy recorded video took a lot of tweaking to get it right. There was another one that i found, the name eludes me the issues with that was the files for 10 minute clips were like 10GB! It was a memory drain. I now use the gamer bar on windows 10.... I know right silly? it works for me out of the box and the clip sizes are quite small. Like i said you gotta try till you find the right one.

OBS for videos and LICEcap for GIFs.

 

[Wambam2k]

OBS / Windows Game Bar. Only 2 that seemed to work for me

I use loom most of the time. But there are many really good screen records, I don't really see much difference. So you can check the review of different screen recording programs on https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/mp4-recorder.html The thing I like about this list is that it is all free.

OBS is the only one i've used that can actually record decent videos on my crap PC.

 

[arinamichel]

I wanna recommend OBS because it is open-source live streaming software that allows users to capture and stream live video from any Mac, Windows, or Linux computer.

OBS is the holy grail of *anything* capture. Screen capture, camera, capture card, etc. It's basically a swiss knife.

Skreno AI for me.

 

[AncientBoi]

VLC is another suggestion.

For gaming..

is another way.

 

[Kems]

OBS is the only one I use

Is it still valid in 2026? If so, I want to suggest Skreno, which you can use for screen recording and video editing (if that's something you need).
