It&#8217;s the same steps as <a href=\"#record-video\">how to record a video<\/a>, as explained above. The difference, however, is that you have to select DirectShow as the Capture mode and choose your webcam as the video device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/record-webcam-with-vlc.png\" alt=\"record webcam with vlc\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ps2id-block-target\" id=\"alternative-vlc\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alternative-to-vlc-screen-recorder\"><strong>Alternative to VLC screen recorder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VLC Media Player is a versatile tool for video playback, but it has some limitations when it comes to screen recording. On the other hand, Bandicam has all the features you need for screen recording. Here\u2019s a comparison of the differences in features between VLC and Bandicam in terms of recording:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>VLC Media Player<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Bandicam<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Webcam recording<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full-screen recording<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to-record-your-computer-screen\/\">Record your screen with sound<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to\/screen-recorder\/\">Record part of your screen<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/facecam\/\">Record your screen with webcam (facecam)<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/how-to\/mouse-effects\/\">Capture mouse pointer<\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;X<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&nbsp;O<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see from the table, there are many drawbacks to VLC, such as the inability to record your computer screen and audio at the same time. If you need more advanced features or a more user-friendly interface, we recommend Bandicam as an alternative to the VLC screen recorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size is-style-round td_btn_large\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bandicam.com\/downloads\/ing\/\" style=\"background-color:#2a69ca\"><strong>Bandicam Free Download<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:30px\">To screen record, start Bandicam and choose the &#8216;Select a recording area&#8217; or &#8216;Rectangle on a screen&#8217; menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.bandicam.com\/how-to\/screen-recorder\/how-to-use-bandicam.gif\" alt=\"bandicam, record part of sceen\" style=\"width:730px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you know how to record your screen\/webcam or audio with VLC. However, VLC is missing some necessary features for screen recording, so it is better to consider more robust screen recording software.
