so, I guess you're wondering how to record your face and your screen
at the same time, so you can create pro looking videos without having
to figure out all of the tech, well, in this video I have you covered.
Right now I'm using Descript to record my face and my screen at the same time.
And what I happen to have open here is my good notes app, but you can
record anything on your screen, any piece of software, your Google slides,
your canvas slides, what I love about Descript is you can use it on a Mac
or a PC, and you can record your videos with it, and then also edit.
And when it records your face and your screen they're two separate files,
so you can edit them differently.
You can have just your face on screen for a little bit of the time,
or just have your slides or your screen or split 'em in half, or do a
little picture in picture scenario.
Plus Descript has some AI functionality.
Like just turning your video into a transcript automatically and allowing
you to edit your video, like a document.
It's pretty cool.
So if you haven't checked out Descript yet, I'll put a
link down in the description.
By the way, my name is Meredith.
And here on this channel, I'm here to help you look good, sound good and
feel good on camera so that you can build your thriving, YouTube channel.
And I'll put links to everything that I mentioned down in the
description below this video.
Now I mentioned that I'm recording my face and I'm recording my screen.
They're gonna be two separate files, I'll be able to turn this into a slick
YouTube video or even a course video.
Now, if that's something that you are trying to do and you need to have those
two separate recordings to kind of edit back and forth between them, I highly
recommend that you check out ScreenFlow.
ScreenFlow is a Mac only software, but this is my absolute go-to when it comes
to screen recordings that are like a tutorial where I'm showing a piece of
software, I'm showing how to do something.
And I might want to zoom in on a menu or throw an arrow or make it really obvious
exactly where I'm clicking on the screen.
And similar to Descript, you can record with screen flow and then edit with
screen flow, But ScreenFlow specializes in screen recording and screen
recording editing, and the features and functions are like absolutely bonkers.
when it comes to creating really good, easy to follow tutorial style videos.
So if that's what you are creating, I highly recommend you check out ScreenFlow.
if you're a PC user and you wanna use those kinds of robust features and
functions for recording your face and your screen, and then editing them
together, you could look at Camtasia.
I've used it a little bit here and there, but I still prefer Screenflow,
So I always go back to Screenflow, but if you don't have a Mac, Camtasia
might be the next best option.
Now, another easy way to record your face and your screen at the same time
would be just to use zoom download the software, share your screen,
and then make sure your camera is on and you'll be able to do both.
There are a couple downsides ... One, the quality is not gonna be that great.
And number two, your files won't be separate.
It's gonna record your face and your screen all on one file.
And you won't be able to later edit your video where you're
kind of switching back and forth.
And although zoom would not be my first choice to kind of get the
job done for recording your face and your screen at the same time.
most of us have it available to us.
And it's, it's easy to use in a pinch.
And did you also know that Canva has a feature where you can record
your face and your screen right within the browser, you don't even
have to download any extra software.
So for a simple presentation where you'd wanna have your face in the
bottom corner, for example, and then be able to show your slides.
Canva does this in a really simple, easy to use way.

recording time on their free plan.

it gives you some control over the size of your face compared to the screen and
where you wanted to show up on the screen.
Ecamm has been one of my favorite pieces of software for recording my face and
screen at the same time again, this one is Mac only, but what I love about it is you
can have your face in your screen, you can have graphics and images on your screen.
You can sort of arrange it and design it however you want to.
And then that's how it's going to look when it's done.
So you don't have to go in and add graphics when you're editing or figure
out where your face is going to be.
You set it up like that and then just hit record.
you can record anything on your screen, in the browser.
Any piece of software, you can switch out graphics as you're recording.
And yes, Ecamm is a live streaming tool, but you can use it just to record videos.
lastly, Riverside is a great option to look into because Riverside prioritizes
the quality of the video and of the audio.
this is browser-based podcast recording, but you can also record your face
and your screen at the same time.

Plus they have some AI transcription tools.
As well, and I will link to Riverside and all of the other pieces of
software that I mentioned down in the description below this video.
And I'm also going to link up my camera and my microphone that I
use when I'm recording my face and screen at the same time.
