oCam

oCam has screen capture and screen recording functionality to offer. This means you can use this application to take a screenshot of whatever is displayed on your PC’s screen; take a screenshot of a certain region on the screen or of the entire screen. It also means that you can make a video recording of whatever is on your screen; record the screen & audio input, record audio input only, record system audio, record from the microphone, record a game.

oCam works with 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft’s Windows operating system. That’s any version from Windows XP up to Windows 8.1, which is the latest Windows release at the time of writing this. You will have to complete a standard installation process to get oCam up and running on a Windows PC: download an installer, run it, follow a setup wizard’s instructions.

oCam’s interface is made up of two elements. The first one is a green rectangle that you can place anywhere you want on the screen; whatever is underneath this rectangle will be captured or recorded. The second one is a control panel that you can use to access all the features and settings oCam has to offer.

From this control panel you can access the following features: resize the green rectangle; open the Options menu and set hotkeys, select a watermark, pick a language, and more; take a screenshot; initiate the recording process; record the screen & audio input, record audio input only; select one of many codecs; record system audio or record from the mic; record a game.

The oCam control panel displays instructions on how to use oCam – which is nice. The oCam control panel also displays ads – which is a bit annoying.

oCam is free software. It is free for personal and office use.

oCam, a free OhSoft product, helps you take screenshots and make video recordings of whatever is on your screen.
