Great! thanks for sharing this awesome post. you really help us a lot. I can try to use all of them later. Besides, I will recommend you to use an alternative screen recorder which is the Acethinker Free Online Screen Recorder, this is one of the simple yet effective screen recorder that will help you record all the activities on your computer screen with ease

Thank you for sharing! I usually have a difficult time memorizing keyboard shortcuts, so I never tried those. But I am sure it's very useful for many people!

AFAIK there are some plugins you can use to set it up as a webcam, right? There's no support for MacOS yet thou, but I think they're working on it.
