## Review summary

TechSmith Capture is valued for being free, easy to use, and capable of high-quality screen recordings, especially for iPhone/iPad workflows and YouTube editing, with solid Camtasia integration. However, reviews repeatedly cite audio issues, reliability problems, and export/sharing limitations. Users also report detection errors and missing or unclear error messaging, plus feature gaps like partial-screen recording. Overall, it’s a strong starting tool for screen capture, but stability, audio handling, and export options need improvements.

### Pros

- Free to use with no ads
- Easy to use with simple start/stop controls
- Produces high-quality video rendering
- Great for iPhone/iPad screen recordings and YouTube workflows
- Works well with Camtasia, enabling smooth import/editing of captured content

### Cons

- Audio problems: choppy or missing system/mic audio
- Reliability issues: recordings sometimes fail to start/record/save; lag over time
- Export/sharing limitations: cannot upload directly to Screencast or other services; requires computer transfer; unclear/error-prone messaging
- Device detection/error handling is inconsistent: unclear or missing error messages and occasional detection failures
- Feature gaps/time limits: cannot select a portion of the screen and some reviews note a 30-minute cap on recordings
