How can you record PC game play with commentary?

Answer 1

To record gameplay and commentary, you need to record what is on the screen and what you are saying simultaneously, and therefore you will need a tool that will allow audio mixing. This is commonly done with OBS Studio, where you set up your desktop screen as the video source when you are in a game play session and choose your mic as your audio inputs and press record. In case you desire a more lightweight, less complex solution, but still captures screen video with microphone audio and provides easy shareable links, ScreenRec is a good option in addition to more full-fledged solutions.

Answer 2

In order to capture PC game footage with your own commentary, you will need to begin by selecting a screen recorder that has the ability to record system audio and microphone input. Using OBS Studio, you can add a scene which consists of game capture, microphone audio, and even webcam in case you want a picture-in-picture effect. Record your voice and commentary separately and then hit Start Recording and you will have a video and commentary in a single file. ScreenRec can also be used, but it is a bit lighter and has simpler history and instant sharing links, but lacks as many advanced layout features.

For Windows, there are some screen recording applications like DemoCreator(30 days for trial version), Camtasia(Full function for 30 days trial but high price), Adobe Captive(Great but high price). Those are able to edit your screen recording before finalizing. The free ones such as Camstudio, Jing project just can record what happened on your screen. Screen Recording Suite could be better to help you record PC gameplay with high quality.
