What tool is good for recording?

Question

I am a video content creator and I have used quite a few tools like screencast-o-matic and OBS. I even used zoom. But i need a simpler and want to explore free tools too. Any recommendations?

If you are on Mac OS, it already comes with two free tools that are pretty decent: QuickTimePlayer for screen and audio recording and iMovie for editing. I've use them all time for creating product demos and product video tutorials for @ui_licious . iMovie also has noise-cancellation software, which does a pretty good job. If you want to do both camera / webcam + screen recording together, like Loom, apparently you can start a webcam recording first, place the window in a corner of your screen, and then start a second screen recording session. I haven't found a compelling need to use paid tools with this setup.

A good free tool I've used in the past is screencast-o-matic.

@jason_andries1 yes, I just need the screen and audio. I didn’t know about this feature in Mac. I must try it. Thanks!
