Bandicam

Lightweight Windows recorder for screen, gameplay and webcam

Bandicam is a Windows screen recorder known for capturing gameplay and desktop activity with a small performance impact. It can record a region or the full screen, DirectX and OpenGL games, webcams and external devices, with real-time drawing and up to 4K output. The free version adds a watermark and limits recording length; a paid license removes both.
