hi I'm Jamie and welcome to Teachers Tech. today I want to show you how you can record your computer
screen for free using Microsoft's clip chat before I get into this tutorial I just want
to show you some of the key features that I really like about this program when you
record your screen plus your webcam it puts it into two separate tracks so this allows
me to do this effect right here what I do in my video using Camtasia and then with another just
simple click of a button I can add captions to this it only takes a few seconds so this
is a very easy program to use everything's just drag and drop for that beginner friendly user
experience so let's get started on how to record your screen for free using Microsoft's clip chat
so first of all where do you get Microsoft clip champ from so I'll put the link to this down
below in the description as well but I'm going to be showing you from the online version here
today so you can log in you will need to create an account when you click try and free you're going
to see that you do need to log into this and I'm going to log into this with my Microsoft account
you can create one of those for free the other way if you're on Windows 10 or Windows 11 you can go
to the Microsoft store if you do a search for your computer and type in clinch clip chat and you can
install this on your Windows computer as well so I just wanted to point out those two options
when you're using them they look identical they work the same so I'm just going to use the online
version in case you're not on Windows today but I'm going to go get logged in with my computer
and I am using the free clip champ account in this video it is going to be focused on recording with
your webcam or with the screen and how to edit that if you're looking for more about how to use
clip champ I have a separate video a tutorial about more of the features in it that I won't
show here today so I'll put a link to that in the description and up above in the cart but so
for this one if you're on your app on Windows or on the online you'll see that it looks the same
and I'm just going to go to record something here and if if you haven't used this before it
might come up when you click screen screening camera it's going to ask you to allow this so
it's allow the camera and on this point I'm going to be just working from here screen and camera but
you can see I could record the camera by itself I could record this screen recording by itself and
there's text to speech also but I'm going to show you how I add the captions later on so first of
all let's go ahead and just click on screen and capture and then we'll find something to record
you get a little preview of me down here it's picking up the camera that I'm using I could
make this a little larger uh don't worry about this being here because I can move this after
I can record this I can place it anywhere on the screen and I'll show you how you do this
make sure you have your correct camera and your microphone so this is the microphone that I'm
using if there's multiple ones to find you just drop down on any of these uh notice also that is
a 30 minute recording limit I'm going to go ahead and hit record and now I have some choices on what
I want to record so we could have a tab so if I go and just click on a tab to open and move it
to the side you can see now it's coming up here and I can select that I could record a tab in a
browser I could go to a window and sometimes I just have to open them up click on them once to
bring them up so if I bring up my Excel right here and then I'm just going to move it down it see how
it closes sometimes so that's one thing I noticed sometimes I just have to open it again and then
click off up on it and then it picks up and then we could do entire screen also so if I go entire
screen I have two different monitors on here what do I want to record the entire screen on this one
or this one and if you have audio that's coming out of your computer if you wanted to capture
make sure you select this down here so in this case let's say I'm doing an Excel tutorial I'm
going to select this so it's highlighted and I just have to hit share so it's now it's recording
and I could be saying all I want about Excel doing a little tutorial when I'm done and this
is going to be just a short practice clip down below I could pause this if I want but
I'm going to hit stop sharing I'm going to move the Excel out of the way so you can see it gives
you a playback right away so stop sure it's uh now it's recording and there's the playback all I want
about Excel I'll hit pause here so it gives you I just had to move Excel out of the way because
it stays up but this is what I was recording so I could retake the recording and save and edit here
but I could also just watch it here I'm going to hit save and edit notice it downloaded those two
files the screen and the webcam and the recording down to my computer I just want to point out when
you're using the free version it downloads to your computer all this we're not syncing with the cloud
so you do need to stay on your computer all the time to have those media assets available to you
so if you switch computers you wouldn't have this unless you're paying for the upgrade and then it
will sync everything okay so if we look over here we have it intermediate we also put it they put it
in our timeline here so I could go through and say play Excel doing a little tutorial and now
I can make some changes to this and I do want to point out that it is grouped right now green is
around both of these so uh if I right click I get some options where I could split but I can
ungroup these two so now if I click off somewhere and click back on one of them uh now I have that
option or it's just by itself where I can select them one at a time okay so first thing I want to
show you I want this on the other side let's say so this I can just click and drag I have this
selected here I can size this larger I can crop it as well because I have Parts where the green
screen isn't and I'm going to crop it just like that hit the check mark when you're done move it
into place I'm noticing I have black bars on the side here well I can quickly change that too as
well this is the auto autofill so if I click it it just fills the screen but I could move this around
I could even size it larger if I wanted to uh make it so that people could see a different part okay
what about the green screen just a simple click so I have to make sure I have the correct thing
selected and remember that other video that I have I go in more detail of more of the things that you
can do uh in clip champ but I have this selected I'm going to go over to filters and take a look at
this so if I go all the way down there is a green screen option here right here green screen so if
I select it now I notice it's not quite the they didn't get it kind of the right way I can change
my thresh hold here and then I can clean it up and I can just play with that depending on what you
want on it and the other thing is if you didn't have a green screen you have other options that
you can choose for there as well so I'll just leave it like that and I'll move my playhead
back a little bit move this out of the way and about Excel doing a little tutorial when I'm
done and this is going to be just so maybe at my threshold I could go back and change my threshold
if I wanted to as well if you want to take another clip what you do is you just go back to record and
create over here and I can choose to do a camera only I could do screen recording on it I'll go
back and just do one more clip get everything I want right here hit record and I could choose this
time something different if I wanted to go entire screen maybe I choose this one I hit share and it
says that this is here this is why you're getting this effect I could minimize this and I could open
up my Excel one more time and it's recording everything that's happening on my screen I can
hit stop share and uh since this is open back up my window so it didn't open up automatically but
it's giving me that preview again minimize I'm going to hit save and edit and now we have the
second one you can see 12 seconds it's added it to my timeline already I can go through and make the
edit so let's say here's a quick edit that I can do if I didn't want this first part so if I'm just
dragging my plate head to here I could just simply grab hover and trim the beginnings like this again
I talked about more of this in my video with my full video on clip Champ here so you could keep
going through adding more and more to this now the other feature that I wanted to use to show you was
that you can quickly add your captions to this so and it's just a click if I go up here hit captions
I just have to turn on captions here so turn on captions and you can check what you want and here
I'm going to leave everything the same turn on captions and it gets generated as it goes through
you can watch it get generated on each one it doesn't take very long depends how long your video
is but now if I go back to my uh practice clip uh down below I could I had it selected on only this
clip over here so if I go back sell one more time and it's recording everything that's happening on
my screen so you can see it it just put it up on this one I I had that one selected and that's why
it added to that slide or that clip alone now the other thing that I just want to point out you can
download the captions the SRT here so again just quick clicks drags and everything's working very
very simple on this one if I go up and if I'm all done my video I'm just going to close this
I could hit export and here's my choice here I'm going to go 1080 this will be no watermark
in here 1080 and I can go through and if you want to log in to any of your different if I want to
go right to YouTube I could go here I could go to my Google Drive or as it processes when it's
done I can just download it it will get downloaded automatically on my computer as the finished copy
so it just download it down here to my computer and I can go ahead and click on it and I know
this one's not going to be that great but to show you how well this works and I could be
saying all I want about Excel doing a little tutorial when I'm done and this is going to
be just and it gives you it shows you now I can play it with the threshold a little bit better
change my lighting to work a little bit better on this one uh but for a free video editor and
free screen recording this works very easily remember you can work with this online or you
can install this on your Windows computer as well so I hope you like this tip on this free screen
recorder from clip champ let me know down in the comments below if this is working for you thanks
