Bandicam is screen recording software that can record the screen, gameplay, webcam video, and audio, with built-in editing and AI tools.
Uses Bandicam can be used in a variety of recording scenarios: recording online courses and lectures, reviewing missed content, and organizing key points into study notes; creating tutorials and instructional videos by recording, annotating, and editing explanatory videos; recording high-quality gameplay, capturing DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan games and adding commentary; recording work and meeting content, documenting online meetings such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams; and recording, editing, and transcribing audio.
Main capabilities For recording, Bandicam can capture the screen, games, webcam, and audio. Game mode automatically detects running games and smoothly captures the footage, can capture game audio and voice at the same time, and displays the frame rate (FPS) in real time. It supports capturing a single window and its audio without recording other windows or sounds, supports instantly saving the screen as an image during recording, and supports automatically starting recording at a preset time. In meeting scenarios, it can capture external devices such as webcams, smartphones, and game consoles, and record all screens simultaneously.
Editing and AI tools After recording, you can go directly into editing and trim unwanted clips. Smart Zoom can automatically zoom in and out based on mouse clicks and movement to highlight key moments. AI transcription can convert recorded content into text, quickly generating subtitles, meeting minutes, and lecture transcripts; it can also transcribe audio files into text and save them as subtitle or text files. The webcam background removal feature can remove, blur, or replace the webcam background to protect privacy and keep the image clean.
How to use During recording, you can add annotations such as arrows, highlighted text, handwriting, and shapes on the screen in real time to emphasize key points; you can record the screen and your face into the same video; and you can highlight click positions and cursor movement trails so viewers can follow the steps. For audio, you can record only sound without capturing the screen and save it as MP3 or WAV, trim the desired part while viewing the audio waveform, and raise the speaker and microphone volume up to 200% or lower it to the desired level. You can set recording to start and stop automatically by time or file size. Bandicam can also be paired with Bandicut, which is used for cutting and merging, and the two offer a discounted bundle to speed up video production.
Applicable scenarios Suitable for students and teachers recording courses and lectures, tutorial creators making instructional videos, gamers recording high-quality gameplay with commentary, professionals documenting meetings and work content, and users who need to record and transcribe audio.
