Minimize on Recording Start

Sat Sep 05, 2015 10:39 am

When recording a full screen or windowed app, instead of having to minimize the bar and Bandicam, when we press the record button any Bandicam windows should automatically minimize. There isn't an instance where I would like Bandicam showing in my recording except if I was doing a demo of Bandicam.

There should be a 2-3 second delay countdown so that we can be ready to start the demo or game that we are recording.

That's a good point. I've been using the demo for a few weeks now and was wondering if there was any way for this to auto minimize or even while recording, have a small red dot or something show up in the recording screen (be it desktop, game, etc) to let you know it's live.

If I may pop in, perhaps this automated function wasn't included because of all of the 'hiding' mechanisms within Bandicam (that is, minimizing it out of the way and hiding the control bar in Rectangle On A Screen Mode) - they probably thought most people would just do those things, then use the hotkey to begin a Full Screen Recording after nothing is showing - but I like your idea; it sounds similar to how Corel's ScreenCap works ;)

The problem is, for people that want to Record the Bandicam interface (to show updates/changes/settings/Tutorials/etc), or who want to record a portion of the screen and have the interface running for indicators/changes/control/etc, these people will have to 'un-minimize' everything, every time they want to record the screen. It is sort of a 'six-of-one-is-half-a-dozen-of-another' case.... For now, perhaps Minimizing everything before recording will suffice?
