Our verdict

Movavi Screen Recorder does the basics well. It records the screen with webcam, system audio and microphone, lets you draw and show keystrokes while recording, and can start and stop a recording on a schedule. G2 users rate it 9.4 out of 10 for ease of use.

Editing is thin: you can trim and cut fragments out, and that’s it. A fuller editor means buying the Screen Recorder + Video Editor bundle. The free download is a 7-day trial that watermarks every video, so there’s no lasting free option.

If you want recording and a full editor in one app, compare Wondershare DemoCreator or Camtasia. If you mostly send quick video messages, look at Loom.
