  • The GoTo only supports cloud recording at this time.

OBS Studio, widely known as a tool for broadcasters, added a new built-in feature in their latest update, Virtual Camera, which allows you to use the OBS output as a camera in other apps on your computer. This exports anything you’ve set up in OBS Studio as if it were a camera to your system. As a result, you have a lot of room to be inventive.

What is the OBS Virtual Camera, and how does it work?

The OBS virtual camera can be used to send your OBS video directly to several other applications including, but not limited to, Zoom, Discord, Skype, and Webex. Instead of choosing a camera device in these applications, you may use the output from OBS as a webcam by clicking the “start Virtual Camera” button.
You may wish to utilize OBS as a webcam source since it has many production features like picture in picture, chroma-key (green screen), and so on. This is especially useful if you want to deliver a business presentation or amuse your coworkers by using an interesting green screen backdrop. In this post, we will introduce how the OBS virtual cam is used and how it can record screens.

How can the OBS virtual camera be used?

You may wish to utilize OBS as a webcam source since it has many production features like picture in picture, chroma-key (green screen), and so on. This is useful if you’re delivering a business presentation or want to amuse your coworkers by using a strange green screen backdrop.
The OBS virtual camera can link your OBS scene to many other applications that can select camera devices, such as Zoom, Discord, Skype, and Google Meet. As an example, we will explain how to use the OBS virtual camera in Zoom.

Step 1. Please download the latest version of OBS studio.

Step 2. Add sources you want to share, such as video or display capture, and click the ‘Start Virtual Camera’ button.

Step 3. Start the Zoom application and select the OBS Virtual Camera as a camera in video settings.

Zoom obs virtual camera

You’ll notice that whatever is shown in OBS is mirrored in Zoom. This process works the same way for other programs, such as Skype, Discord, and Teams.


Record screen while using OBS virtual camera

When you use OBS VirtualCam to pick an OBS camera in Zoom, for example, you may wish to record Zoom at the same time.
The simplest method is to record Zoom using another recording program, such as Bandicam, while using the OBS virtual camera. The other solution is to run two instances of OBS studio.
Please see the steps below.

Step 1. Without turning on the virtual camera, open Zoom, Discord, or other programs you’ll be using.

Step 2. Start OBS studio and add a source for recording. Do not turn on the virtual camera yet.

OBS add sources

Step 3. Open another instance of OBS studio. If you see the “OBS is already running” message, click “Launch Anyway”.

Step 4. Remove the sources you previously selected and replace them with your camera in the second instance. Start the virtual camera for Zoom or other programs on OBS.

Step 5. Return to Zoom and select the OBS Virtual camera as a video source.

Now, you can record the Zoom program in the first instance of OBS while using the OBS virtual camera in the second one.

Step 1. Download and install Bandicam.

record part of screen

Screen recording has become an essential tool in various fields today due to the increasing shift to digital communication and remote working. In particular, recording part of your screen can be useful in a variety of cases, such as:

  • Creating instructional videos: Recording just the relevant part of the screen can make the instructions clearer.
  • Webinars: For presentations or webinars, recording a segment of the screen can focus the audience’s attention on the relevant content.
  • Feedback and reviews: When reviewing a document or a design, recording the specific part being discussed can provide clear and concise feedback.
  • Educational resources: Teachers can record parts of their screen when explaining concepts, which students can then access at their convenience.
  • Communication: To avoid misunderstandings that often occur with text-based communication, recording a part of the screen with a voiceover can convey tone and nuance effectively.

If you use Windows 10 or 11, you can use the Xbox Game Bar as a screen recording tool. However, it does not support capturing a specific part of your screen. This limitation can be a hurdle for content creators who require precision in their recordings. As an alternative to Xbox Game Bar, Bandicam allows you to select and record part of your screen on Windows 10 or 11. 

In this article, we will introduce three ways to record part of your screen. Choose a method based on your preference to create focused, professional videos.

How to record part of screen in a selected window

The ‘Specific window‘ option allows you to record only a selected display window. It’s useful for recording video meetings, live streams, or video lectures, as it records only the selected window, excluding what happens on other program windows.
Further, you can record only a specific part of the screen instead of the whole screen. Follow the steps below to record a part of your screen in a selected window:

Step 1: Download and install Bandicam Screen Recorder

Step 2: Select the ‘Specific window’ mode, and choose the ‘Select a recording area on specific window’ menu.

select a recording area on specific window

Step 3: Select the recording area in a specific window by dragging with the mouse.

record part of screen

Step 4: Click the ‘ REC‘ button to start/stop the recording.

This method ensures that the recording is limited to the chosen area within the selected window, regardless of any overlay with other program windows that takes place during the recording session.

How to Record a certain part of your screen

Rectangle on a screen

The ‘Rectangle on a screen‘ recording mode allows you to record a specific area by adjusting a rectangular region.
Unlike the ‘specific window’ option, it captures everything visible within the rectangular window, including any popups, windows, or menus that appear over the selected area. It’s ideal for recording part of the screen that doesn’t correspond to a single window.

Step 1: Download Bandicam Screen Recorder and start.

Step 2: Choose the ‘Select a recording area’ or ‘Rectangle on a screen’ menu.

Step 3: Click the ‘ REC‘ button to start/stop the recording.

Record a certain part of screen

How to record around your mouse

around mouse recording

The ‘Around mouse’ menu captures a specific area surrounding the mouse cursor as it moves across the screen. This is particularly useful for creating content where you want to focus on the actions being performed by the mouse. Here are some examples of how it works:

•  Dynamic Area: The recording area dynamically follows the mouse cursor, ensuring that whatever the cursor is interacting with is captured.

•  Focus on Detail: It helps viewers concentrate on the cursor’s actions, making it easier to follow along with the steps being shown.

•  Customizable Size: Users can adjust the size of the recording area around the mouse, allowing for flexibility depending on the content’s requirements.

•  Enhanced Clarity: This mode often comes with additional effects like highlighting clicks or visual cues to indicate mouse activity, enhancing the instructional value of the recording.

Step 1: Start Bandicam and choose the ‘Around mouse’ mode. You can select the recording size you want.

Step 2: You can also add mouse effects, such as recording with the mouse cursor and highlighting the mouse cursor.

Step 3: Click the ‘ REC‘ button or press the hotkey (F12) to start/stop the recording.

Summary

Bandicam offers a variety of screen recording solutions, especially for content creators who need to record a portion of their screen. It offers three recording modes: ‘Specific window’ for capturing an application, ‘Rectangle on screen’ for recording an adjustable area, and ‘Around mouse’ for capturing the center of the dynamic cursor. These features meet a variety of content creation needs, from educational videos and webinars to detailed tutorials, ensuring focused, professional results.

Bandicam’s Schedule Recording function allows you to automatically start recording at a set time of a day or week or using the most recently used recording mode. Here’s how you can schedule a recording to record day trading and stock trades:

    • Fullscreen: This option allows you to record the entire screen of your computer display.
    • Rectangle on a screen: This enables you to record specific areas of your computer screen.

Doing so provides a rearview mirror to measure how well you executed each trade and, most importantly, provides you with feedback to develop and evolve your trading skills. Here’s where Bandicam comes in handy: its user-friendly and clean interface lets you record day trading and schedule recordings to meet your daily or weekly demands. You can also capture dual monitors for over 24 hours without stopping.

Do you want to make a video resume for yourself? Are you debating whether or not you need one? In today’s world, the competition is fierce. You’re typically up against hundreds of other candidates when applying for a job. In addition, although it has gotten easier to discover job opportunities on the internet, it has become more difficult to get such positions.

The majority of job hopefuls struggle to distinguish themselves from the crowd and earn a chance at that prized interview. An online video resume may be very beneficial if you want to get an advantage over your competitors and score more interviews.

What is a Video Resume, and how does it work?

A video resume is a short film produced by job searchers in an effort to persuade prospective employers to hire them for a particular position. In addition to a conventional resume, it is often presented in conjunction with one.

What Is the Value of a Video Resume?

Video resumes, however, may not be fit for everyone; most job applicants do not need one. In fact, video resumes are not required for the vast majority of positions available today. Whether or not you need one is determined by the industry, position, and business you are applying for. Below are a few instances for which you might need a video resume:

  • Work in a field requiring creativity and visuals, such as design, cinematography, motion graphics, video production, directing, acting, teaching, and cooking.
  • If you want to be successful at your job, your attitude and communication abilities must be on display. For example, you might want to show such abilities when applying for a position that entails facing and enticing potential clients.
  • Your recruiter has asked you to put together a video resume for your application.
  • You’re looking for a position at a small business that doesn’t utilize an applicant tracking system (ATS) and hasn’t automated its recruiting process.
  • You have a lot of experience but want to highlight the parts that are relevant to the position you’re applying for.

What is the best way to create a video CV?

Job searchers must record their video CV or profile by using a video resume builder that records that webcam.

Fortunately, creating a video resume using a Bandicam webcam recorder is a straightforward process. You may record your camera, screen, and voice simultaneously, as well as add additional effects to the video, such as a logo or text.

In this post, we’ll show you how to create a video resume using Bandicam’s built-in features. Making a video resume doesn’t have to be a difficult task; all you need are some good video equipment and basic video editing knowledge. Below are the procedures to follow while creating a video resume.

How to Make a Video Profile for Interviews

1.   Create a script for your presentation.

To prepare for your interview, jot down what you’d like to express to the recruiter. Write as though you are speaking. Moreover, make sure that your notes are written in a conversational tone, and keep your sentences brief and to the point. Also, while shooting, avoid reading straight from the screenplay in order to prevent seeming too robotic. Instead, remember the script so that you can appear more personable and professional on the phone. Alternative: sketch out a rough outline of the key points and develop on them afterward while shooting the scene.

2.   Set up the recording equipment.

  • Download and install the Bandicam Webcam recorder.
  • Choose the recording option that you wish to use. You have the option of recording your video resume using either the webcam recording mode (option 1) or the screen recording mode (option 2).
bandicam screen recording mode

3-1.   Using a webcam to record (option 1) 

In Device recording mode, you may capture video from your webcam.

  • Pick “Device Recording” mode from the drop-down menu and then click on the “Device Settings” button to select the device you wish to record with.
select webcam, bandicam
  • To record only your voice, pick Disable as the “Speakers” option, and then select the microphone as the “Microphone.” (If you want to record both computer sound and your voice, select the speaker device instead of the Disable option).
record voice, bandicam
add logo, add text to the video
  • To start or stop the recording, click the REC button or the hotkey (F12) on your keyboard (The hotkey for the ‘Record/Stop’ functions can be changed).

3-2. Making a recording of the screen (option 2) 

The instructions listed below will guide you through the process of recording your computer screen and camera simultaneously.

  • Select the ‘Screen Recording Mode,’ and pick the ‘Fullscreen’ or ‘recording area’ from the drop-down menu.

facecam, webcam overlay
  • You can toggle between small and fullscreen webcam overlay screen while recording.

4.   Examine and distribute your video resume.

You may see your video inside the output folder if you want to. If you are happy with the recording, send it to your employer or submit it to video-sharing platforms. You can upload your content to Google Drive, YouTube, or Vimeo from the Bandicam interface.

Conclusion

The video resume maker that we have discussed in this article provides a broad range of capabilities, but it is up to you to figure out how to use these tools in a creative manner.

When trying to play an AV1 video, you might encounter a message indicating that the video can’t be played or a codec is required. Here, we introduce simple methods to play AV1 videos on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

What is AV1 codec?
The AV1 codec is a royalty-free video codec developed by various leading companies, such as Intel, Microsoft, and Google, with better compression efficiency than H.265 (HEVC) or VP9. For this reason, many video platforms and media streaming services actively use the AV1 codec. Bandicam Screen Recorder also supports AV1 codec encoding.

AV1 Video Playback on Windows

Install AV1 Video extension (Windows 10/11)

If you are a Windows 10/11 user, you can play AV1 videos for free with the “Movies & TV” player, which is a built-in video program in Windows.

To play an AV1 video with the Movies & TV player, click on [Get it] button and install the AV1 Video extension from the Microsoft Store, as shown below.

2. Use a VLC media player

VLC is a free and open-source, cross-platform multimedia player that supports Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Install the VLC media player and play AV1 videos for free. » Download VLC media player

Additional Tips

1. Convert AV1 to MP4 (H264)

You can convert AV1 to MP4 (H.264) so that you can play the file on various devices. The H.264 (MP4) codec is more compatible than the AV1 codec and can be played on computers/smartphones without having to install the additional codec.
Bandicut is a professional video cutter program that can convert the video format to MP4. You can change the AV1 codec to MP4 (H264) with Bandicut’s ‘Encoding Mode.’ » Convert videos
