Nowadays, computer games are more than entertainment, many people began to earn money by shooting videos and uploading them to the Internet. In order to facilitate the shooting, the Bandicam program was created. Its main purpose is to record video from a computer monitor. However, inexperienced users have problems with properly setting up the program, which reduces the quality of their creations.
This article will present the optimal setting of the "Bandicam" so that even a beginner in the field of video shooting could prove himself in the best way. All aspects of flexible program settings will be touched upon in detail and tips will be given on the correct recording of the video stream.
Shooting games
Before you talk about how to configure the "Bandicam", it is worthwhile to touch on the topic of how the recording process occurs on the part of the interaction of the software and the operating system.
The bottom line is that as soon as you install the program, it is implemented in the registry of the operating system itself. There, she is only interested in the video stream that is transmitted from the video card to the monitor. In addition, the program is capable of simultaneously recording sound both from systems and from external devices: a microphone, headphones, or a web camera.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that the software directly interacts with the computer registry, it is sometimes recognized by antivirus software as malicious software, which, of course, fundamentally complicates video recording.
Therefore, it is recommended that only one thing is to disable anti-virus programs while recording a video signal, but this may cause outrage among some users. Check if the video is recording normally, then you can refrain from this recommendation.
How to set up Bandicam
Now you can directly talk about how to configure the "Bandicam". In general, there is nothing complicated about this, using our instructions, you can adjust the sound and video.
Framed subjects
Before shooting games, go to the program settings and change all the parameters to your requirements. Now we’ll talk about customization for those cases when you decide to shoot objects that are outlined.
So:
- Enter the program and in the upper left corner find the "Target" button.
- By clicking on it, select "Screen Area" in the list that appears.

Now all that remains is to click on the "Snapshot" or "Record" icon. That is, if you want to take a picture of the selected area, then, respectively, click "Snapshot", otherwise start recording.
As soon as you decide to interrupt the shooting, click on the black square. After that, the video will be saved on your hard drive. In order not to look for it for a long time, right in the program you can click the "Open" button opposite the "Output Folder" option.
So, this was introduced to the Bandicam setting for recording video using the frame, now let's talk about windowed mode.

- Click the left mouse button.
After you do this, the name of the captured window will appear in the “Bandikam” window, if it matches your choice, it means that you did everything right. Now it remains only to press the "Record" button and start shooting.
Shooting video games
As for shooting video games, then everything is the same as with shooting the selected window. The difference is only one: after choosing the shooting mode, open the game and instead of specifying the subject to shoot, press the F12 key. You can stop recording by pressing the same key.
By the way, if the video during the game lags or there is no sound in the “Bandicam”, click on the “Settings” button and select “MPEG-1” in the “Shooting mode” field, also check the box “Sound recording”. After that, everything should work out.
