Best and Worst Screen Recording Apps 2024

[@LaRosaMJohnson]

I’ve been loving Tella and its ease of use. I use my iPhone as my camera using Camo and had some audio sync issues in Tella. Solved it by using Camo as my audio output, as their app natively fixes sync issues. And in Tella I had to make sure to turn off recording system sounds because that conflicts with Camo as an audio source & doubles the audio. Wanted to share that tidbit for anyone in the same scenario as me. Another great video!

Awesome tips, thank you for sharing!!

[@voyance4elle]

very cool. thank you :)

[@healthsis1768]

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with Tella but it looks like Camtasia has the functionality I need and it’s the same price as Tella

[@meredithmarsh]

Awesome! Good luck with it!

[@RobPerkins]

Another great video. Great timing too. Just getting ready to pull the trigger on Descript though, mostly since I felt it was your fave. You didn’t even mention them here. Are you done with Descript?

[@meredithmarsh]

Thank you! Glad it was good timing for you :-) I talked about Descript at 5:18 but yes I still use Descript. It doesn't work for my camera setup to record directly into any more but I almost always being my videos into it to make my rough edits, then polish in Premiere Pro.

[@RobPerkins]

You sure did! How did I how miss that? 😮Especially when I was watching for you to mention them. Ok. The 3rd watch will be the charm. I do rely on your opinions as I research to make my own decisions. Thanks for the great content. As always, thanks for the reply.

Meredith, I am new to providing information in the "modern" fashion. I have 40 + years of information stored in 900+ folders and have decided to join the fray. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Your process of providing the information is very good. I typically do not trust much on software, video has helped me to make a decision. Thank you for your effort to help an old geezer. Pierre

I am about to start recording a course and was going to do it through zoom mostly because the quality of what I look like on it is the best. I am just learning how to use ecamm but to use zoom through it you have to use the ecamm camera as a virtual and it's too blurry in the zoom window. I'm so curious how you do it because you look so beautiful on camera! You threw out a lot of tools though so I'm confused what your workflow actually is for your YT videos?

In windows laptops just right click in the desktop hover over the View and uncheck Show Desktop Icons. Windows really thought about anything. Windows also have Snipping tool for screen recording it's for screenshotting but can be used to record screen it's pre installed in windows 11.

[@bubblywaters3116]

Do you have a review video for phone screen recorders?

[@meredithmarsh]

Unfortunately not

[@callmebigpapa]

Great insights in this video!!! Something changed about your mic/sound from 3 years ago sound fuller richer and more pro now. For Windows you can right click -> unclick show desktop icons .....also in Chrom to hide bookmarks bar Ctrl-shift-b

[@tube-master]

I like Tella but you are unable to use it with existing recordings. You have to do everithing in it. The upload section is pretty limited. I hope they update it so it can be more like Decript

[@meredithmarsh]

I used it to upload a single recording so I could add zoom-ins easier, but it would be great if you could add in a screenshare AND a talking head and edit together!

Good to see your picks Ms. Meredith. Tella is what I’ve decided on, for now anyway. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nomhrs3314]

Great explanation and no rant at all , thanks a lot for your video.

[@jimhegarty9561]

Thank you for creating this video. Well done.

[@John_Lilley]

So helpful, exactly what I needed! Thank you Meredith! 🙏🙏🙏

[@AZASTROGUY]

Thanks for the video. Something you didn’t cover is virtual backgrounds. Zoom and Teams are good but the video quality is lacking. I’d prefer to avoid the complications of a green screen. I tried OBS but the virtual background plugin is poor quality. Is there anything that is as least as good as Zoom at superimposing you over a virtual background without a green screen?

[@meredithmarsh]

Honestly the easiest thing is to situate yourself in a space that doesn't require a green screen or virtual background.

[@marcoricciardi]

I think Descript does not make transcription in Brazilian Portuguese. Am I right?

I signed up for the free trial with your link, now I want to upgrade but the discount is not being applied. Do you have a coupon discount code or something I can use to get the 30% off?

[@meredithmarsh]

Reach out to their support to see what's up!

@@meredithmarsh thanks! I replied to one of Grant’s emails a couple of days ago, hopefully he’ll be able to guide me.

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

You've made me rethink a different style of presentation entirely. I'll be using it soon. It basically uses cards to teach as opposed to my face and hands - and I'll be more in the background. I recommend this for you. My original thoughts that you inspiried: All right - you're polished, your video looks great - you look great - but I'm just going to tell you that I could only use / remember half of what I should have been able to. All of that is just DISTRACTING! So - here it is - the next level (at least - what I think): *** Instead of focusing on your pretty self and the neatest work area I've seen since ... um ... not sure -- use AI (Perplexity works well for this) to structure your script - and then USE YOUR VOICE ALONE to deliver it phrase by phrase, with visual cue cards to move through the chapter cracks. Like - a silent picture explainer screen only modern. What you're on, what are the pros, what are the cons, etc. You get text and voice and the background knits it together. Then sum up at the end the same way before you personally sign off. *** I predict a next level of success for this!!

Sucks that camtasia isn't connecting to Google at the moment

[@hooverzavala4560]

Dont mix the subject, stay focus...

[@jcepri]

Speaking of recordings, I have 2 suggestions....stay focused on the topic (Best/Worst Apps) vs this at at 1:49 . Also, put the name or logo of the app you're discussing on screen as you're talking about it. Lastly, use the app names in your chapter titles. I wanted to find what you said about OBS Studio and I can't find it. You've got it listed so I assume you talked about it.

[@tracy419]

@@jcepri as someone who is just getting started, meaning I haven't even done my first video, I very much appreciate that tip at 1:49. It's something I wouldn't have thought about.
