How to screen record and record yourself at the same time on Windows?

For users who want to record myself and my screen at the same time, ScreenToGif is a Windows screen recording tool that offers options such as standalone screen recording and webcam recording. You can download either the installer version or the portable version from the official website. For a standard installation, download the installer version, open it, and follow the on-screen installation instructions. The portable version requires no installation; simply unzip it and run the program.

How to record myself and my screen at the same time

Step 1: Open the official download page and select the Installer or Portable version. After downloading, install the program or extract the portable package, then launch it.

Step 2: On the startup window, select Recorder. A recording frame will appear on the screen. Move the frame over the area you want to capture and resize it to match the required recording area.

Step 3: Set the frame rate before recording. A higher FPS produces smoother motion but also creates a larger project, so a moderate setting is usually more practical for tutorials or demonstrations.

Step 4: Start the screen recording and perform the actions you want to capture. When you are finished, click Stop. The captured frames will automatically open in the Editor.

Step 5: To include yourself, use the Webcam recorder from the startup interface and select your camera. Record the webcam footage separately, then use the Editor to work with the captured frames.

Step 6: In the Editor, remove unnecessary frames, adjust timing, crop the recording, resize it, or add text and other elements when needed.

Step 7: Open the export options and select the output format you need. Choose the save location and export the finished file.

This tool offers separate screen recording and webcam recording features, but its design differs from that of typical screen recording software.
