    Warning

    As described on VirusTotal comment (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1ddb733efb11769a05cc735d555e9a4df92c4cdf29fa47ea3864e57e67dcf884/analysis/1411383540/): if you download CamStudio from SourceForge.net, the VirusTotal results are 0/53. After installing this SF version, it immediately says that there is an update available. When the link is clicked, it takes you to camstudio.org, which has a zip file that, scanned with VirusTotal, gives you 15/53 result. So do NOT download and install the "update": it's a malware. Installer as of 09/22/2014.

    Comments about Loom as an Alternative to Screen Studio
     
    Esus

    I'd say Loom is a bit less for studio quality screen recording, and more for fast shares, tutorials, etc. (I've used both Screenstudio and Loom) Screen Studio is excellent for making things like product tutorials, youtube videos, voiceovers, etc. Loom is excellent for teams to share things async.
