Screen Casting Tools Page 4 of 7

Recording your screen for a let’s play or walkthrough has become more in demand with the proliferation of YouTube and less tech savvy device users that either want to watch someone else play a game or just need some help performing a basic action. Apps like Open Broadcaster Software, ShareX, and Camtasia make the process of recording footage of your screen for these purposes a snap (or, well, a click. You get the idea.).
