How to set up Camtasia Studio for webinar recording

Hello dear readers. Some time ago we already talked about webinars and the opportunity to study and listen to lectures on the Internet. We talked about that with the help of simple programs. But like any free program, it has its limitations, and if the needs increase, we begin to look towards more professional tools. For me personally, the CamStudio program is not very suitable because of its simplicity, I have been using Camtasia Studio to record a webinar lately. Some readers have difficulties with her, then she does not write video, then sound. Today we will talk about setting up Camtasia Studio for recording a webinar.

If you have installed Camtasia Studio for yourself, the first thing you need to do is set it up. Let's consider this process in more detail.

1. Open the program and see the welcome window. Here you have to choose Screen Recording

2. If for some reason our welcome window did not open, select at the top Record the screen

3. We choose what we will record - the entire screen of the monitor (Full screen) or only part of it ( Custom). When recording a webinar, I record only the part where the pictures go in order to reduce the size of the resulting file, and not to show what else is happening on the computer at that time. If we choose Custom then the program produces a green square, which must be stretched to the desired location and size. The part to be recorded will be shown lighter, and the part that will not be recorded will be darker. very comfortably. Look at the picture below.

And select the sound settings as shown below −

Here you need to select the sound source from where it will be recorded. Microphone should not be set - then the recording will go through the speakers to the microphone and the quality will be terrible. I choose stereo mix(from the sound card).
