Speaker 1: If you're looking for a way to record yourself and your screen at the exact same time, stay tuned. We're going to cover it here in this YouTube video. Now I have done a ton of YouTube tutorials, screencasts, even live streams over on Facebook in my Facebook groups. And one of the things that I get asked about all the time is how do you actually record your screen and have your face in the screen as well? It looks a little bit complicated, I assure you. It's a lot simpler than you might think. And there's about four or five different tools that I'm going to introduce you to get the job done, including my all-time favorite, Ecamm. If you're new here, my name is Meredith Marsh, and this channel is dedicated to helping your side hustle thrive with video so that you can become the boss of your own future. And it really just comes down to taking the right steps in the right direction. So make sure you hit that subscribe button now and we'll get started. Now whether you're recording a screencast video for your YouTube channel or going live and having a live stream with your screencast, both of those ways are excellent pieces of content. First of all, they're easier-ish to create because generally recording your screen, you're walking people through something, you know how to do it. And so it's one of the easiest ways to communicate how to do something. But it's also one of the most helpful ways for the viewer to actually learn what you're trying to teach them. And a lot of people make the mistake of thinking that you have to have some complicated software to get this done. And yes, you have to have a couple of tools like a camera and a computer and some software, but it's not complicated. So we're going to head over to my computer. I'm going to show you a couple of different ways to record your face and your screen at the same time and walk you through my favorite software for getting this done. So to keep things super duper simple for you, first of all, the easiest and most simple thing that you could do is use any of these screen recording software that I'm going to show you and then also just have your camera set up in front of you so that you can talk to your camera and also be recording your screen. That's what I'm going to do here for this video in order to show you all of the other ways to do it. So to start right off here, one of the tools that you could use for this is called Camtasia. It's from a company called TechSmith and I linked to it down in the description below this video. Now what's great about Camtasia is that you can use this on your Mac or your PC. You can also record your screen and then edit your screen recordings right within the same app, which is fantastic. So let me show you how easy this actually is. So all you have to do is just make sure that your webcam is on. I'm using a Logitech 1080p webcam. Again, I'll put a link to this down in the description below. So make sure your webcam is on and then you obviously want to have your microphone on. We're just using the built-in microphone here and then you can decide whether you want to have Camtasia record your system audio or not and then you select your region. So you can see I have a rectangular green square here on my screen. So you can select however you need this to be. So we're just going to stick with what we have and then you're going to hit OK and then start recording and this is going to record my screen and then it's also going to actually record my face and then we'll be able to edit this when we are done. So as you can see here, we have a timeline. We have track one, track two. So we have what's happening on our actual screen and then we have what's happening in the webcam right here and they're both totally aligned with each other. You can change the size, change the position, all of that stuff. You could even have it on the screen for just some of the video but not for other parts of the video. So that's how Camtasia works. Now if you're on a Mac, one of my favorite tools is called ScreenFlow. Now ScreenFlow is only available for Mac and again like Camtasia, you can not only record your screen and your camera but you can also edit after you are done. So just make sure that you're recording your screen. Make sure you're recording your camera. Make sure your webcam microphone is on or whatever microphone you happen to be using and then you can select your screen size. So I generally will like to get it to be 1920 by 1080 and this is the area of the screen that I will record. So it's going to give me a countdown like most screen recordings do and then I know that I can start recording. So right now we're recording my screen. We're also recording from my webcam and then let's see what this looks like when we are done. So it looks a little bit different than Camtasia but it's still very similar. We have both of our tracks here and then we have what happened here in my webcam. We can move this around. We can change the size and the location and all of that good stuff and then you can even add more to your screen recording as you go. Just make sure you hit save here in ScreenFlow. Then when you're done, you can edit this screen recording and then export it as an MP4 video. Now Zoom is probably something you're familiar with at this point. It's really gained popularity this year and a lot of people may not realize you can actually use Zoom to simply record your screen and yourself. So we're going to hit new meeting. It's going to open us up with a video meeting where we're basically just talking to ourselves. So I'm just going to open up a regular Google page here so we have something to share. So you're going to come down to share screen. I'm going to select this Google Chrome window here to share. So that's the part of the screen that's going to be recorded. So if you have a slide presentation or something, you would want to pull that up so you can share that on the screen or whatever it is that you're going to be recording. So I'm going to hit share down here and right now I'm recording my screen and also sharing my screen. I'm the only participant here but one of the things that we need to do, let me make sure you can see this, come down under more and then record on this computer. So now we are recording this Zoom presentation that is a screen share and my camera is obviously on so that you can see my camera. So if I hit, let's see, we're going to go to stop recording. We're going to hit stop share and then we're going to end this end meeting for all. So it's going to convert the Zoom call into a video that you can save to your computer and this is what it will look like. So you have your screen where you're recording and then you have your camera over here. So you've recorded your screen and your face at the same time. Now my all time favorite app to do this with is called Ecamm and it's actually Ecamm Live. This is a live streaming broadcasting software. It is only available for Mac so you can go live on YouTube and Facebook or wherever you want to. And one of the really great benefits of Ecamm Live is you can actually record your screen only. You don't even have to broadcast. You can record your screen and your face at the same time. Let me show you. Okay, so we can see that my face is on the camera right now on the screen and then if I do a screen share, I'm going to hit this little button up here. I'm going to select. I don't want it to show my whole entire screen. I just want it to show Google Chrome. So now it's going to show Google Chrome but also I'm here on the screen. So I can decide where I want this to be while I am recording. I can make it smaller, I can make it bigger, I can mute myself, unmute myself, I can switch. That's pretty cool. So instead of going live to a destination like Facebook, Periscope, Twitch or YouTube, you can select record only and it's going to record your screen. Just hit record and now we are recording our screen and then we're also recording our webcam right here. When we're done, we just hit finish and end recording and then we'll hit show file and then I can show you exactly what this file actually looks like. Let's take a look. And now we are recording our screen and then we're also recording our webcam. So it looks exactly like we had it set up when we were actually recording. So now you know how to record yourself and your screen at the very same time for your YouTube videos, your screencast tutorials and all that good stuff.
