Looking for an alternative to Cap?Compare OBS Studio.Compare alternativesCap combines screen recording, editing and sharing. In Instant Mode your recording will be uploaded during recording, so you can quickly send a link after stopping. In Studio Mode you work with a local recording that you can edit first.
You can use screen, camera and microphone to explain an action. The editor provides, among other things, cutting, backgrounds and zoom effects. This is useful for a brief instruction or demonstration where you want to lead the viewer to a specific part of the screen.
The method of recording determines where your data ends up. Choose a local workflow for materials you want to check first. Cap has free options, paid desktop rights for commercial use and a Pro offering for more cloud features. Check which license and storage route connect to your usage before recording work material.
