What it is

Bandicam is screen recording software for capturing screens, gameplay, webcam video, and audio. It records computer sound and microphone input, can record multiple monitors at once, and saves audio-only recordings as MP3 or WAV. Game capture supports DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan games. The webcam recorder can capture online meetings such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, while video sources can include webcams, smartphones, consoles, and other external devices. AI tools can transcribe recordings, remove webcam backgrounds, and zoom automatically; transcription can produce text for subtitles, notes, or scripts. Product information lists screen recorder products for Windows and Mac, while the listed platforms include Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. A free download is available, and registration removes the watermark and recording limit. Paid plans advertise no recording time limit and no watermark. Personal licensing is for non-commercial use without an invoice; organizations using Bandicam commercially with an invoice must use a Business License. Listed plans include Personal Annual at $33.26 a year and Personal Perpetual at $53.90, paid once.
