I had a wonderful experience with Bandicam. It captured my gaming moments flawlessly and helped me make youtube videos out of it. I could record in-game sound as well. It worked great for me.

Pros

Overall experience is pleasant. It helped me record my screen with somewhat good resolution videos. i will recommend this software to others.

Cons

Configuring the camera was a bit tough while recording. Wanted to change my window once while recording, but had to redo the recording from the very beginning.

I still do not get why should i pay you when free OBS exists?

Reviewed on 2023/07/03

Pros

It does its job well but why do i have "BANDICAM.COM" overlay? I mean OBS has leading market share and they let you capture screen without having any overlay.

Cons

Payment. When i need bandicam, i was child. OBS's UI was complicated while Bandicam's was easy to use but i did not wanted to have BANDICAM.COM overlay on my videos so i switched to OBS.

Bandicam Screen Recorder is far more fun to use for my client interview needs than Screenflow. It's lightweight so it doesn't slow your PC down, and there are a ton of file size reduction options so you don't have to deal with massive files, if you don't require ultra high quality. It takes maybe 7 minutes to learn. It also has a free version if you don't want to pay. However, for business use I would buy it to get all of the benefits.

Pros

What I like most about this screen recording software is how lightweight, easy to use, fast to run, and simple to figure out it is. When I switched from my mac to a PC last year I needed screen recording software to replace Screenflow. Screenflow was very complicated to learn, and I wanted something that would be easy to pick up. I just wanted to be able to record client interviews the same week without having to study. Bandicam solved all those problems, and it costs much less than Screenflow, or Camtasia.

Cons

If you want to do simple editing you need to purchase an additional piece of software from the same company called Bandicut. It would be great if it was included inside Bandicam, however the price point is so great for both pieces of software it was not much of a problem for me.

I would highly recommend it as a daily driver for small to medium scale business having a limited budget. Test the software in trial and if it meets your company requirement then it would definitely worth switching to paid software for receiving a full-fledged benefit. For beginners as well as professionals, it is a great choice for making high-quality tutorials and gameplay videos, which can be easily shared on social media platforms.

Pros

The best thing is that its user interface is easier to learn. Finding settings and configuring options in the menu is user friendly. For making tutorials it provides real-time tools like drawing pencil, highlighting, background overlays & watermarks, for better tutoring experience. The game recording is also well done using its realtime recording and shows FPS as well for benchmarks. Its light on computer hardware resources and video quality can be adjusted to make it lighter on low spec machines. Screen recording size can be cropped to adjust for specific needs. Keyboard shortcuts come handy for screenshots. Helpful customer support is available for a quick response.

Cons

There is nothing major to mention. Technical issues are faced rarely because of newer version software updates solves most issues. The other is the recording limit of the trial version is low, but it's not really a demerit for paid software.

Alternatives Considered

OBS Studio

Reasons for Switching to Bandicam Screen Recorder

Bandicam has user friendly interface and ease of useagewhich helps us to focus on making great content for tutorials and gameplay videos, rather than focusing on learning the software like OBS.

Overall academic usage, software lessons, gaming videos, work, and other activities on your computer screen may all be recorded using Bandicam. The application is small and simple to use. However, you should think twice before making a purchase decision because the program lacks video editing features, which are fairly prevalent nowadays.

Pros

Various and several options for screen recording.
Simple and beneficial for courses or business use.
No lag or bad quality in the recording process.
The recorded sound is pure and very well clear.
Easy to use for all ages and all usages.
Simple and beneficial for courses or business use.
No lag or bad quality in the recording process.
Flexible in using other video sources.
The cursor could be changed for the recording process.

Cons

There are no editing tools available in the application
Only for Windows users.
In the free version, there is a small watermark that could be inconvenient for some users.

Cons

You can record the screen for not more than 10 minutes for free.

Working in a tight schedule and educating my employee at the same time is not possible bandicam helps to record my work and later on share it with them to make them understand.

Pros

Tool bar appears at the top and only seen when the cursor is move nearby, selected area screen recording and around mouse recording are again best tools, it all helps me to record my work and share with my employee to make them understand later on even though it is packed with all essential tools it's size is much less

Cons

Only 10 minutes of recording available despite of that no other cons.

I am able to document my configurations in real-time as evidence for my accessors and also create gaming content with ease. Overall I think other people would be satisfied as well.

Pros

Overall I like that it is has the ability to record many different types. The price is fairly decent for a third-world country like mine and also the easy of use one you get used to it. Also it does not take up most of my CPU and that's a major for me :)

Cons

No complaints. However sometimes the record button lags but that's when I play video games. I think it records but it barely starts. I always have to double check even after tapping the "rec" button.

overall experience i would say that the software is really great,if you are looking for a good software to record without affecting your fps,thats the right choice.

Pros

Im using this software for a very long time and i found it great,It is a really good software to record gaming or desktop videos with high quality image and audio,and without affecting your device performance or your game fps,you have also the feature to capture any frame on the screen.The interface of the software looks easy to use and simple noting complicated,and the best thing that i liked about it that you can record more than 60 fps,for example 120-144 frames,and we rarely see that on softwares.

pros:

- high quality video.

-high quality audio.

-ability to record more than 60 fps.

-easy to use.

-simple interface.

-ability to use web cam.

Cons

to be honest the software is perfect and i don't see something bad.

My overall experience with Bandicam Screen Recorder is very good. I use Bandicam whenever I have to record a video of my working screen and demonstrate them the video.

Pros

The feature that I like most about Bandicam Screen Recorder is that we can record the screen by selecting certain portion of our window. This reduces time for video editing and other stuffs.

Cons

The feature that i like least about this software is that I always get confused in which location is the recorded file been saved. That consumes unnecessary time.

Reviewed on 2022/11/21

Pros

I found Bandicam to be a very useful tool for recording video tutorials on the fly. It's easy to chose between recording in full-screen or recording a specific region. I also love the basic drawing tools that can be used while recording. It makes life a lot easier when having to explain concepts.

Cons

Certain needed features can be a little difficult to find. This is especially true when it comes to selecting the quality of the audio to be recorded.

I've used many screen recording programs in the past, often times many of them simply do not preform as advertised & take up too many computer resources for real-time recording, or offer sub-par recording quality. After originally coming across Bandicam, I was amazing at the level of quality I was able to record with, without sacrificing performance.

This has been my go to recommendation for video recording software.

Pros

* Simple to use
* Reliability is performance
* High footage quality
* Extremely customizable

Cons

* Occasional split audio issue (though this can be fixed pretty easily)

You can record high-quality video game, video and desktop screen using Bandicam. I have been using Bandicam to save some screen videos about how to use and access some other programmes in computer. It provides good memory to me. This application helps me to record videos without any screen resolution and sound defect. You can really enjoy screen recording of important things without significant problems.

Pros

It is a very plain, simple and understandable screen recording programme. You can easily record the videos. It provides different video formats such as AVI and MP4 to record and you can share those videos in different platforms and you can also add your webcam videos to the recording.

Cons

You have to get pro version to record videos more than 10 minutes. Mobile version could be good. It sometimes crashes.

Its no doubt that Bandicam is one of the best screen recorders out there because it is easy to use and comes with a small setup which helps to save space on the hard drive

Pros

It is easy to use and has a friendly user interface, it makes it possible for everyone to use even if they do not know much about computers. It is a flexible software that can run smoothly on old computers and still take high quality screenshots and make high quality videos. another great feature about Bandicam is that it allows you to change the format and video quality before recording which give you a chance of knowing how much space you might consume.

Cons

I have been using Bandicam on different computers for a long time and i haven't found any problem with it, the only thing i think should be worked on is the time limit for trial version, its too low.

Overall experience with it is great. It's perfect for quick videos that you need to record and send immediately. Many features are locked until you pay.

Pros

We all used Bandicam at some moment of our life. It's a classic software and one of the best screen recorder's. It is easy to use, I like the drawing in the screen feature too, and the fact that it's free! (With watermarks on it). It can record up to 24 hours in the paid version, and the export formats/size are pretty great. I use it to record video tutorials for my clients, when they don't know how to do something.

Cons

You need Bandicut or other video editor to edit the recorded video. It has watermarks on the free tier version. Limited to 10 minutes recording in the free version.
