The number One!

5.0 11 months ago

Pros:

Bandicam proved to be really effective, recording my screen without any lag, in a optimal quality. The interface is really friendly, and this software is perfect under every aspect. You can easily choose where to save your file, and thanks to the shortcuts, you can easily start or stop the recording.

Cons:

There's nothing I dislike about Bandicam so far.

quick and easy

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: I needed a screen and video capturer that would take direct sound, hide the mouse, be extremely lightweight so as not to consume resources, and have various audio and video formats. I installed Bandicam and it fulfilled those expectations

Pros:

The most notable thing is that it is easy to install compared to other programs that install additional drivers, for example, it is fast precisely because it is light, and consumes few resources, which allows, for example, to capture games or combinations of open programs on the screen.

Cons:

I find two cons, the first has to do with the price, which is a bit expensive for a user or small business, the second has to do with the fact that it could be more complete, for example, including a small video editor

Not suitable for my requirement - no refund possble.

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: I purchased a lifetime license as Bandicam seemed to do what I wanted.
I wanted it to monitor my security camers. To do that I ran it through an HDMI splitter.
Each time I switched HDMI Bandicam froze.
Apparently this is no surprise. There no fix and I apparently should have known that.
Here is the thing - no refund is possible.
If you try Bandicam don't commit to a long license unil you are sure it will do what you want.

Pros:

Not hard to setup and configure Video quality was ok when it was running.

Cons:

I wanted it to monitor my security camers. To do that I ran it through an HDMI splitter. Each time I switched HDMI Bandicam froze.

Bandicam, a very reliable screen recorder

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Bandicam is a great sotware to record and post videos of the quality you like. It is a very useful product.

Pros:

Bandicam opens up fast and I also like how it saves the files I record to the the location that I set it to. I also like how I can record my video quality in many formats 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p according to the space I have or the type of quality of the video that I want.

Cons:

I do not like how Bandicam puts a watermark on every video that I have recorded because I haven't payed for the product.

Reliable screen recorder

2.0 4 years ago

Comments: My experience with Bandicam has been good and I recommend it to anyone who does not mind the added text.

Pros:

I liked Bandicam, it was my go-to application for screen recording. It opens quite fast with a splash screen. I like how I can set my screen recording area, and it's not difficult to do so. It also easily saves the screen recording to the location you set.

Cons:

I liked Bandicam quite a bit, I probably still do, but it places writing on the top center of the screen. I found a free program that does do this, which pulled me away from Bandicam. The writing being on the top center has at times interfered with my recordings since it's placed on top and after recording. Having the text visible during recording or perhaps when choosing the recording area could help. This way I could position my recoding area such that it does not block it out.

Bandicam is the best!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall the experience has been satisfying and exceptional in every way. My computer has bandicam installed and if it was a for a fortune I would still get premium because it's totally worth it.

Pros:

It is the only screen recorder I have given into using since I couldn't find another similar. It has broken the barrier of convenience and made my job alot more easier. Thank you Bandicam!

Cons:

Well maybe it is what I always like stressing on but setting up bandicam wasn't easy and there is no tutorial I just press buttons that may work for me to get the task done. A more detailed tutorial would be nice.

Bandicam Screen Recorder Review

4.0 last year

Pros:

Recording videos / demonstrations / processes through Bandicam Screen Recorder was relatively simple. Also for the most part, Bandicam Screen Recorder is user friendly. And lastly, Bandicam Screen Recorder is free to use, which is a huge plus in my opinion.

Cons:

For some reason, my mouse cursor was not visible on the screen during my recordings through Bandicam Screen Recorder. Having the mouse cursor visible during my recording would be greatly beneficial for my other coworkers viewing my video / demonstration / process recording.

Simple to Use for Seceen Recording

4.0 last year

Pros:

It is one of the simpler to use and setup screen recording softwares out there. The file size is compact and is supported by some of the older machines in my company.

Cons:

The license is quite costly compared to some of the free alternatives out there such as OBS if all you need is screen recording. There is also less option for customization if you are an advanced user.

The best video screen recording software in the world

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

What I particularly like about Bandicam is power, it is able to record any type of action on PC with a very high number of frames per second without any bugs. the output video is of high quality and little bit improved the quality through different parameters. on top of that, the internal sound capture is spot on. I use it every day to record my work sessions but also my heaviest games, and everything is spot on. I recommend with eyes closed.

Cons:

Nothing at all, for me Bandicam is perfect in every way regarding screen video recording

Incredible Screen Recorder for the Price

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: If you're a person who's frequently working remotely and struggling with co-workers who don't remember what happened in a discussion, this product is for you!

Pros:

For recording Zoom when you're not the host or recording Teams if you need it, I've not found anything that works at a moment's notice.

Cons:

Maybe it's just my settings, but the files are absolutely massive.There doesn't seem to be a way to record internalized streams within (like, say, VideoDownloadHelper).

The lightweight Screen Recorder

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall, bandicam performed as expected, though a couple of lags here and there, but it's truly worth it's price

Pros:

Bandicam is a lightweight but yet sophisticated application for screen recordings. It comes with a couple of cool features out of the box, even with a free trial.

Cons:

There were times when the application did crash during a recording session which required starting over, also the free version only comes with 10 minutes of screen recording time, which is not enough to run a test on an application before opting to buy it.

Reviewing Bandicam Screen Recorder

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: This software is very helpful for my business. I record all of my conversations with my clients so that I can keep the instructions of the projects and handover them to my agents. It has saved my times.

Pros:

Bandicam Screen Recorder is the software which I use to record my conversations with my clients so that I can keep the instructions of projects. I can easily handover the projects to my assigned agents and I don't need to tell details about any projects to my agents as all the instructions are recorded through Bandicam. It is very easy to use.

Cons:

Though there is nothing much to talk about the cons of this software, The only issue I have with this software is that sometimes the audio does not sync with the video properly.

Simple Recording App for Everyone!

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall, it's a really simple app to use for everyone with simple usage, you can learn it for just a day. But if, let's say, you want to change preset while recording and want to do advanced customization and filtering, then this is maybe not for you.

Pros:

UI is pretty straightforward, modern, and simple. It's optimal for recording games, not consuming too much resources. It has draw while recording feature, which is really useful for presenting.

Cons:

The free version of the program is so limiting, you can only record 10 minutes video, and has a watermark (which is distracting). Also, there is no such thing as changing to custom configuration while recording (changing to the camera only, camera with screen, changing window, etc), so you need to record a new video to do that.

Excellent Product for Recording Screen Activity

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall Experience Is Amazing. I Definitely Recommend this software to all my friends and relatives due to its professional Features. Thank You Bandicam

Pros:

Its Screen Recording Feature is Amazing as Its video output creates video in many formats 360p,480p,720p & 1080p. We can use those videos for any purpose.ITs Screen Capturing and Clicking, typing, and Voice during recording are more convenient for YouTubers.

Cons:

Some of Its Features are Paid (we have to pay Bandicam to get unlimited access to its all features) after expiring its trial period. It's not fair, It should be free of cost to get access to all of its features.

Light yet powerful screen recorder: Bandicam

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: We first tried out the free plan of Bandicam when the covid-19 pandemic started. The free plan was suboptimal and proceeded to purchase the subscription. All of our colleagues were satisfied with the software as it's simple and easy to use as compared to other screen recorders.

Pros:

The screen recording is amazing. It is very easy, and intuitive record screens/windows anything. Furthermore, the quality and the features improve as the subscription is activated further enriching the experience.

Cons:

Bandicam may be "light" due to its small size, but I did experience lag spikes during recording simulations or demonstrations or streaming something.
