Yes, you can use Captura to record myself and my screen at the same time on Windows 10. It has a built-in "webcam overlay" feature that lets you add your camera feed as a picture-in-picture (PiP) over your screen recording.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to set it up so you can record myself and my screen at the same time on Windows 10.
1. Initial Setup: Install and Configure FF mpeg
- Download FF mpeg: Visit the official FF mpeg website and download the version for Windows.
- Point Captura to FF mpeg: In Captura's settings, find the option to set the path to your FF mpeg bin folder. This allows Captura to export videos in formats like MP4.
2. Basic Recording Setup
- Video Source: Under the "Sources" tab, select what you want to record (e.g., Screen for the entire display, a specific Window, or a Region).
- Audio Source: In the audio section, you can choose to record Microphone input, Speaker Output (system audio), or both at the same time for a mixed audio track.
3. Add Your Webcam
This is the key step to record myself and my screen at the same time on Windows 10:
- Enable Webcam: Go to the video source options and select your webcam from the list. Make sure it's turned on—you should see a preview of your camera feed.
- Position the Overlay: Click the Overlays tab or button. In the settings window, find the Webcam section. You'll be able to adjust the position and size of your camera feed on the screen.
4. Start Recording
- Once you have everything set up, you can start recording by clicking the red Record button or using a hotkey (like Ctrl+F10). You can also pause (Ctrl+F11) and resume the recording as needed. The final video will be saved to your designated output folder.
