User reviews

Users generally praise the Live Screen Recorder for its ease of use, high-quality video/audio, and free, minimalistic design. It's favored for creating tutorials and webcam recordings. However, consistent complaints include problematic MP4 playback where users cannot seek within videos, sound recording issues, occasional video glitches, and large file sizes. Despite these, many users recommend it as a reliable screen recording tool.

Pros

Supports recording from screen and webcam.

Cons

MP4 files recorded have playback issues, such as inability to fast forward/rewind and incompatibility with media players like QuickTime and video editors like Premiere.
Sound issues including no sound, echoing, or only capturing user's voice but not others' in meetings.
Recording glitches such as looping frames or black rectangles in video.
Large file sizes even at moderate quality settings and lack of options for timed recording or post-processing.

My recording started echoing

Mejor que otras que he probado, te permite elegir la calidad y el formato del video. Los archivos que se crean suelen dar problema con el Quick Time, pero si se usa otro programa o si se le hace una conversion el problema desaparece. De momento parace estar todo correctamente.
