A command-line interface is a way to interact with a computer program where the user issues commands to the program in the form of successive lines of text (command lines). Bandicam 5.1.0 and higher versions support the following command-line parameters.
If you use "Windows Task Scheduler" with this command, you can automatically start recording at a specific time.
The "/record" command is available when the Screen Recording Mode (Rectangle on a screen, Fullscreen, or Around mouse) is set.
E.g.) "bdcam.exe /record" or "bdcam.exe /start"
If you use "Windows Task Scheduler" with this command, you can automatically stop recording while recording is in progress at a specific time.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /stop
If you use this command, you can pause/unpause recording.
E.g.) "bdcam.exe /pause" or "bdcam.exe /unpause"
If you use "Windows Task Scheduler" with this command, you can automatically take a screenshot at a specific time.
The "/screenshot" command is available when the Screen Recording Mode (Rectangle on a screen, Fullscreen, or Around mouse) is set.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /screenshot
If you use this command, you can automatically stop recording and shutdown the computer.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /shutdown
If you use this command, the splash screen (launch image) will not be displayed when Bandicam starts.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /nosplash
If you use this command, you can start Bandicam in Safe Mode which disables some features of Bandicam including hardware accelerated encoding.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /safemode
If you use this command, you can register the Bandicam license to multiple user accounts on the same computer.
E.g.) bdcam.exe /reg bandicam@bandicam.com 20180531-ABCD-EFG-HIJK
If you execute the Bandicam setup file (bdcamsetup.exe) with the /S option, you can install Bandicam automatically with the default settings in silent mode.
Note: You must enter an uppercase "S", and you can use the "/S" command and "/reg" command together.
E.g.) "bdcamsetup.exe /S" or "bdcamsetup.exe /S /reg bandicam@bandicam.com 20180531-ABCD-EFG-HIJK"
Type "cmd" (or press the "Windows icon + R" on the keyboard) to start "Command Prompt".
And then enter "cd C:\Program Files\Bandicam" to go to the installation folder.
You can now use command-line parameters such as "bdcam.exe /nosplash" like below:
If you use "the command line parameters of Bandicam (/record, /stop, /shutdown)" and "Windows Task Scheduler", you can automatically start recording "at a specific time on a daily/weekly/monthly schedule" or "at the most recently used location/size in Screen Recording Mode".
For more information, please refer to "How to start recording automatically with Windows Task Scheduler".
