HyperCam
Price: $
HyperCam is a screen recording tool for Windows that can be used to record your screen and your camera as well as your microphone if you need it. If you are looking for a decent functional screen recorder, this may be the one for you.
Effortless screen recording
Hypercam packs a punch when it comes to performing its core functions. Screen recording is simple and easy here. Whether you want to capture your entire screen, a specific window, or a custom region, it has all the options.
The application supports up to 4K screen recordings and it can capture your camera as well as microphone if you need.
Streaming options
If you want to stream your screen, HyperCam might be a good option with streaming support for Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube. Simply sign in to your preferred platform and click "Start." You can also record your broadcast simultaneously.
While these three platforms cover most users' needs, HyperCam also allows you to enter a custom streaming key for compatibility with other platforms.
This feature is ideal for streaming gameplay, interacting with viewers, hosting webinars, or creating tutorials.
Notes
One of HyperCam’s unique features is its note function. This allows you to write and display anything you want on your screen during screen recordings or live streams. Think of it as digital sticky notes that remain visible throughout your broadcast or recording.
If you create tutorials or need to share written information during your video, this feature can be incredibly helpful.
HyperCam media editor
This application one-ups any competitors by providing a built-in video editor, albeit a very basic one. With the editor, you can do the following:
Save/export your media
Cut, trim, and join clips
Add voice-overs
Sound effects or any background music you wish to add
It is a simple editor, but it is definitely nice to have it built-in.
How much does it cost?
The application currently costs $39.99 per year for the home edition and $99.95 per year for the business edition. The latter offers higher frame rates in recordings and XDCAM writing.
HyperCam does offer a 7-day free trial with limited functionality and a watermark on any content created during the trial.
Note: Prices are in local currencies, and they can vary slightly.
Worth giving it a go?
HyperCam is a capable screen recording application that allows you to create tutorials, presentations, live streams, and more. While the trial period is very short and has limited features, the application offers useful tools, including a built-in media editor.
