FAQ 1) When using Bluetooth earphones or headset

A problem may occur if you use a Bluetooth device as both [Speaker] and [Microphone] at the same time. We recommend you select another sound device for [Speaker] and select a Bluetooth device only for [Microphone]. If you still have problems, please use a USB microphone/headset, or use your smartphone as a microphone.

FAQ 2) When using a laptop's built-in microphone

1) If Bandicam crashes when trying to record a built-in internal microphone in your laptop, go to the Recording tab of Windows, right-click on Microphone, select Properties, check "Listen to this device," and try recording again.
2) If your voice cuts off intermittently while using a laptop's built-in microphone, turn off the [Noise Suppression] function view and try recording again.
