Is there a way to self record your screen using Microsoft Streams or Teams?
Our office computers are PC so we don't have the handy free and easy to use features to record how-to videos on our screen or edit them in a free easy to use editing software. Training and Developme...
- Here is step by step for OBS and or built in game bar (only works with active window thou) https://www.google.com/amp/s/helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-record-your-screen-on-windows-10/amp/
As much as I love Teams for recording since it's fairly simple, you do have free options that work amazing as well such as OBS (Open Broad Cast Software) https://obsproject.com/ . It's made for streaming but can easily be used to record as well and It's pretty straight forward to just setup a screen input, and you click Start recording and you can record your screen. I prefer this method because you get local files to use and edit, then you can upload to Stream for distribution but you do have multiple options here!
ChrisWebbTech this looks really interesting! I have a Mac at home so I wonder if this would do similar features that I have on my mac with the basic screen recording and imovie basic edit options. Or perhaps a few more! I'll check this out as perhaps something like this could be used across the company. Thanks!
- FYI on Mac. I think it still works.
To record a video on your Mac:
Open QuickTime.
Tap “File” at the top of the display.
Choose “New Screen recording”
Hit record.
You can record the whole screen, or click and drag your mouse cursor to record just a specific part.ChrisWebbTechWhat does it mean to record a screen? I have several Microsoft Excel sheets. I would like to record the data on Excel as well as the change from one sheet to the next. I would like to be able to press the tab scroll to move from one Excel sheet to the next while QuickTime is watching and recording. But so far it seems the tab key is not active while QuickTime is recording.
