How to Record Webcam on Windows

You may need to explain something to a client or student, but you are unable to meet with them face to face. Fortunately, you have a solution in the form of Wondershare UniConverter, an outstanding webcam recorder. Using your desktop's integrated or external webcam, you may quickly and effortlessly record yourself. Users can also customize recording options such as output resolution, frame rate, and format. It also allows you to edit the recording by adding subtitles, editing, converting, compressing, and other options.

Step 1
Open the webcam Recorder

Start Wondershare UniConverter and then go to the left pane and select Screen Recorder. Select Webcam Recorder from the drop-down menu. If your machine has this capability, the Webcam Recorder should start automatically.

If you can't open the Camera Recorder function, your webcam driver is probably out of date. To do so, right-click the Start menu or the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner. Right-click your integrated webcam in the Device Manager, then enter the Cameras tab. After that, select Update Driver and then Search automatically for drivers. Finally, go to Windows Upgrade and search for updated drivers to update your webcam driver.
