About

Capture the entire desktop or a selected region with accompanying audio, then save the result as an AVI video file. CamStudio can convert those recordings into bandwidth-friendly Flash videos in SWF format, making desktop activity easier to share or document.

The capture controls include cursor options and output-quality settings, while screen captions and video annotations can be added as anti-aliased images. A Webcam movie can place the camera feed over the desktop as a screen-in-screen view, which suits demonstrations with a presenter visible.

People creating software tutorials, visual explanations, labeled demonstrations, or narrated desktop documentation can use these recording modes without relying on a separate editing tool. Its built-in Help file and straightforward navigation support work involving both screen and audio capture.

CamStudio (Install) is a Windows System Tools program from JanHgm, Nick the Greek, and others, with current version 2.7.316.20161004 and a freeware license. Its included lossless codec is designed to keep recordings clear while producing smaller files than some popular codecs, including Microsoft Video 1.
