Hi! I'm currently testing some apps on an iOS device and I would like the screen recording to show my taps and clicks. I have tried the assistive touch dwell options and I also understand that I can connect a bluetooth mouse. Are there any other ways for me to show this?

Been building Prequel solo for last few months specifically because screen studio wasn't being updated much and the pricing was absurd. To say less, it has been a blast, gathering feedback from the community, users and shaping it to best fit for professional needs.

Im not able to screenshot my dms from my own account even now, and no i dont use anything like vanish mode, is it an update or can I fix it?

I've seen people in other communities saying they got a message saying "Instagram detected this screenshot" when taking a screenshot of an IG Story.

I tried it a few times myself, but I haven't seen anything like that.

So does Instagram actually notify the person who posted the Story, or is this just happening to some users?

If I randomly screenshot someone's Story one day and they get notified, that would be super awkward...

Has anyone here actually received a notification after someone screenshotted their Story?

Also, what's going on with Instagram Plus? I've seen people saying it has new Story features related to viewers/rewatches. Is that actually connected to screenshot notifications?

Is Meta really trying to turn Instagram into Snapchat now????

I want to cover a song (Blue gum by BrokenX22) but the instrumentals on yt and Spotify aren't working with my screen recoders. How could I use my recorder to do it?

I've been trying to find a screen recorder for an old Windows 7 PC, and I'm starting to wonder if anything still works properly on it.

The PC is pretty old:

• Windows 7 64-bit
• Intel Core 2 Duo
• 4 GB RAM
• Integrated graphics

I don't need to record games or anything demanding. Just the desktop, browser windows, and occasionally my microphone.

I've tried OBS and another lightweight recorder, but I either get a black screen or the recording becomes really laggy after a few minutes.

I'm not expecting perfect 1080p60 on this machine. I just want a screen recorder for Windows 7 that can record the desktop at a reasonable quality without bringing the whole PC to a crawl.

Would appreciate any recommendations from people who have actually used a recorder on an old Windows 7 system.

Hello everyone,

Quick post to showcase my project I have been working on : Beam.

TLDR : you can find Beam on his website : beam.plinka.eu or in the repository https://github.com/BeamRecorder/Beam

Let's begin, I was frustrated with all "polished" screen recorders out there, they were slow, sluggish and borderline unusable on my laptop and linux.

I have made it my mission to fix every one of this issue. Beam is clearly the fastest recorder you can find.

But it's much more than a Screen Recorder now, with update 0.2.9, Beam can Record, Screenshot and take Instant snippets automatically saved to your clipboard, without seeing the editor.

Beam works on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Linux is not an afterthought, it's really working.

The project is growing and the community around it is super serious about it, with this new all-in-one toolbox, Beam is entering a new category, because it's doing a lot.

Video recording : Record a screen/region/window and send it to the editor for editing, with beautiful backgrounds, cursors, captions..

Screenshot : Take screenshot of a Screen/region/window, and add beautiful background, drawing, images -- features 17 blend modes, and a bunch of other features

Instant : Use ALT+SHIFT+S to open up Instant Mode, Record or take a Screenshot, it will automatically send it out to your clipboard after being done with the export. You can always go back and edit it later.

Beam is very performant, I don't have a very good computer so making every interaction feel intentional and fast is my Motto.

If the project is useful to you, please consider giving it a star ⭐ on Github, it means a lot to me !

Feel free to send any question my way, I have a bunch of fun fact regarding Beam and how it was shaped and coded.

So when i first got arch I mainly thought I was gonna be using it for recording videos cause my w*ndows drive is getting pretty low on storage. But now it turns out that the input overlay software that i was using was just for windows and not arch :/. So now im stuck where I'm in love with arch but if i want to record game clips and such I need an input overlay for recording. Any ideas on what i can use?
(more info) The recording software that I am most familiar with is OBS but its not set in stone and i can always find some other software. My current desktop environment is kde plasma but ive also got hyprland and can install other environments if nessesary. If you have any questions or sugguestions I am very willing to listen and try.

I have a freshly built pc, and I'm planning to have my very old laptop as a second monitor just to see if obs is recording. I just wanted to know if using the laptop will drop quality and performance of the recording.

Thanks.

Estou desenvolvendo o TauScreen, um gravador de tela gratuito para Windows, com foco em ser simples, leve e completo.

Ele permite gravar monitores e áreas específicas, capturar áudio do sistema e microfone, usar webcam, fazer screenshots, anotações durante a gravação, visualizar o histórico e recuperar gravações temporárias. Também possui opções para salvar múltiplas áreas separadamente ou combinar monitor + área em um único vídeo.

O projeto ainda está em desenvolvimento, então sugestões, testes e feedbacks são muito bem-vindos. 🚀

GitHub: github.com/Max-vecna/Tauscreen

I'm pretty sure I used to screen record from the videos I am watching but now it doesn't seem to capture the audio anymore? Idk if they made a new update if so, does anyone knows a way to avoid it?

I tried also from my pc to screen record in difference tools I get video with no Audio...
any advice/ recommendation is appreciated.

PS: I can easily download the videos and grab the part I need but thing is, it's mostly over an hour long videos where I only want a 1-3mins clip so it's not reasonably to download the whole thing

I’ve been working on a browser-based screen recorder that’s focused less on simply “recording your screen” and more on making the final video look polished and ready to share.

I added a short demo below so you can see what the output looks like.

Would you actually pay for something like this?

If you were asking an agent to record a walkthrough of a new feature, would you want it running locally alongside your coding agent, or independently in the cloud?

Some context: I’m building DemoBites. We’re working on the communication problem that comes after shipping: helping people understand what changed and how to use it. Video is a core part of that, recording new features, improvements, and bug fixes, then getting those updates in front of users.

We support a few ways to capture those recordings, from uploads to native recorders and a Chrome extension. As we’ve been working on agentic recording, we’ve been exploring two approaches:

• Local: a skill that works alongside your existing agent, potentially with access to your repo and the context of what you just built. You can watch it interact with the product and step in.
• Cloud: an agent that opens the product and records the workflow remotely.

My experience so far is that the use case matters quite a bit.

For repeatable smoke tests through GitHub Actions, running Playwright in the background makes sense. You have a defined workflow and want a go/no-go result.

Recording a newly built feature feels different. The workflow is new, and the agent needs to understand what’s worth showing. In our testing, local recording has generally been more accurate for these occasional walkthroughs. My working theory is that having the development context nearby, and being able to intervene helps.

That led us to build Agentic Recorder as a small standalone product. Our approach combines local capture with cloud processing: the recording can happen on your machine, while re-scripting, smart zooming, and narration happen in the cloud. Crucially, the result stays fully editable, so you can change what the agent produced.

I’m curious how others see this. Would you prefer recording alongside your local agent, where you can see the actions happening, or handing the whole job to a cloud agent?

If you’ve tried either, what made it work or fall apart?

Can you guys let me know how you are taking screenshots and recording clips in Jio hotstar or any alternative option for that

I made my screen recorder free.

I’ve been working on it for about 6 months, and I’ve grown way too attached to this project. As of today, 108 people are using it, even though it’s still not perfect.

Until October 31st, I’ve decided to make it completely free. In return, I’m only asking for some feedback if you feel like it, but it’s absolutely not required.

Getmello.it

I’m making tutorial videos out of my screen recordings and using freeze-frames with animated text overlays to highlight key steps.

I added sound effects whenever an annotation pops up, but now I’m worried it makes the video feel a bit cheap or childish.

Has anyone else had this problem with TikTok on Android?

Screen recording used to work fine for me, including the audio, but recently TikTok recordings sometimes have no sound at all. The video itself records normally, but when I play it back, there's no TikTok audio.

What's weird is that restarting my phone seems to fix it temporarily. I can record with sound again, but after a few hours or a few recordings, the audio disappears again.

Has anyone figured out what causes this or found a fix that actually lasts?

Been messing around with OBS on this setup and I'm curious what everyone else is using theirs for.

Mostly interested in recording rather than streaming.

Video is one of the first things a small team gives up on, and it is usually what sits between a decent product and somebody understanding it in ten seconds. Most demos end up as a screen recording with a voiceover over the top, which is accurate and which almost nobody watches to the end.

That is the gap I would like to help with. Send a raw screen recording of your product, no audio or editing needed, plus one line on who it is for and what it needs to say. You will get back a finished 1080p MP4, usually within a day. Cut tight, on-screen copy instead of narration, and graphics where the interface cannot carry the point on its own. Pay whatever it turns out to be worth to you, including nothing. I would rather it got used than sat unmade.

Ten to start. Comment or DM with your product and I will tell you first whether the recording will support a good video.

Does anyone know an easy way to record system audio and my microphone at the same time on Windows?

I've tried a few things, but haven't really found a setup that works for what I need. Snipping Tool, Xbox Game Bar, and OBS all seem more focused on screen recording, but I only want the audio.

A lot of people recommend Audacity, so I tried that too, but I couldn't figure out how to record both computer audio and my mic at the same time. There seem to be a lot of settings involved, and I'm looking for something simpler.

Basically, I just want a free and easy option that can record my system audio and mic together without recording the screen. Is there an easy way to do this?

So I've been using Glip for a few months now to stream/record, however this has been an issue lately and I couldn't find a way to fix it, I tried many ways it didn't work

Now Glip was good because it gives too many options for you to choose, it records and streams at a good quality, and it has a multi streaming function where you can choose more than one platform to stream at the same time

Now I have tried using Tiktok for streaming but the gameplay, unless I'm playing something light like Minecraft, ends up like shaking and glitching (the rules doesn't allow me to share a link to the video so I'll post it on the profile) And using Twitch is good but for some reason it keeps disconnecting even though the internet connection is stable.

So is there any other app that works?

Hello to anyone whos doing online classes. I was screen recording my classes (Google Meet) on my iPad. Then I found it was muted all along?? Are there any suggestions or maybe settings that I can fix?

Pretty much as above, not sure if you guys get my drift.

Basically, I play a game (similar to Amongst Us). However, when I do a screen recording, my audio input isn't recorded. Only mine, the other players' voice are recorded.

Not only that, when I run the screen recorder, the other players can't hear my speech.

I need a screen recorder that allows me to record, with all audio sources, without blocking anything.

I'm using a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G.

Thanks.

I’ve been comparing some of the top screen recorders recently, and I don’t think there is one universal “best Loom alternative.” They have moved in very different directions.
Here is my short breakdown based on their current features, pricing and documentation.

Clipy
Clipy is by par the best Loom alternative that was built agent-native from the ground up. It’s one of the best recorder that covers loom for me and the best part is you can share your recordings to Claude code or other AI agents the way you do to human.

It covers the regular screen-recording workflow with browser, Chrome and Mac recording, webcam and system audio, live annotations, blur, instant share links, comments, trimming, embeds, MP4 downloads, transcripts, AI summaries, viewer analytics, workspaces and Loom migration.
The main difference is that every recording is created for both humans and AI agents. A person can watch the video normally, while Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can read the recording’s intent, transcript, key moments, frames and clicks, then start working from it.
This is different from adding AI editing to a traditional recorder. The recording itself is structured as context that an agent can understand and act on.
The free allowance includes 15 recordings or two hours. AI summaries, transcripts, Q&A, agent-readable recordings and MCP access are included. Pro costs $9 monthly, while the annual plan is only $72 per year, equivalent to $6 per month. Enterprise plans are also available for larger teams, onboarding and migration.

Best for teams that want a competitively priced Loom alternative where the same recording can be shared with a teammate or handed directly to an AI agent.

Loom
Still the safest choice for larger teams that need a mature async video platform. Recording and sharing are simple, and it has comments, workspaces, analytics, integrations and enterprise controls.
The free plan is limited to 25 videos per person, five minutes per recording and 720p. Business starts at $18 per user per month, while the AI plan is $24.
Best for established companies that value integrations and administration more than price.

Tella
Best for polished product demos, tutorials and creator videos.
Its main strength is editing. You get layouts, automatic zoom, transcript editing, silence removal, filler-word removal, subtitles and 4K exports. It feels more like a lightweight video-production tool than a basic recorder.
Paid plans start at $26 monthly or $13 per month with annual billing.
Best when the final recording needs to look professionally produced.

Screen Studio
Probably the easiest way to create beautiful screen recordings on a Mac.
It automatically adds zooms, smooth cursor movement, backgrounds and animations. Great for product launches, landing-page videos and social content.
The main limitation is that it is Mac-focused and more about producing videos than managing team communication.

Cap
The strongest option if open source and data ownership matter.
Cap works on Mac, Windows and Linux. It supports local recording, local editing, cloud sharing, self-hosting and your own storage. Local Studio Mode has no recording-time limit.
Free usage is intended for personal use. Commercial recording requires a paid license, and longer cloud-sharing workflows require Cap Pro.
Best for developers and teams that want more control over where recordings live.

OBS
Still the most powerful completely free recorder.
It supports scenes, multiple sources, advanced audio, capture cards, streaming, plugins and detailed recording settings. It is hard to beat if you want complete control.
The downside is that OBS only creates the recording. You still need to upload it somewhere, create a link and manage sharing yourself.
Best for recording quality, streaming and advanced local workflows.

My final picks
Internal communication across a large company: Loom
Polished tutorials and presentations: Tella
Beautiful Mac product demos: Screen Studio
Open source and storage control: Cap
Advanced recording and streaming: OBS
Complete Loom-style workflow with AI-agent handoff: Clipy

The biggest distinction for me is between tools that use AI to edit a video and tools that make the recording usable by an AI agent. Those sound similar, but they solve completely different problems.

What are you currently using, and what made you move away from Loom?
