HyperCam is a software tool that lets you record what is going on your desktop.

If you want to share something that is going on your PC screen with other viewers, then HyperCam is definitely a tool that you should check out. Recording the action on your screen can be quite useful if you are making an instructional video that teaches others how to do something in a computer program or online. If you've ever seen a video tutorial or an informational product that involves a video screen capture, chances are that the creator used HyperCam to make it. There are many other uses for video capture than just instructional videos. Users can make video reviews that showcase features of their favorite programs, or show the gameplay in their favorite video games. Without question, the possibilities are truly endless.

Working with HyperCam is quite easy. Users don't need any experience with video recording or editing to get the program to run effectively. In fact, all that you need to do is to install the program to be able to start recording the action on your screen right away. You can select all of the screen, or just a portion of it, which is quite useful if you only want your video to show what is going on in a specific window.

The HyperCam interface is quite easy to navigate, so chances are that you will figure out how to use it very quickly. The HyperCam user interface has start and stop buttons, but users can configure hotkeys to start recording without having to even open the user interface window. If the quality of the video is important, you can specify at which frame rate you want the video to be recorded. You can also highlight the mouse cursor and set it to flash when you click.

Although HyperCam is a useful program, it does have a few drawbacks. On some systems, the video recording can be unstable. Also, even though the software tool is advertised as being able to capture sound, there are some Windows 7 users who have noted that the program wasn't able to record any sound coming from videos in web browsers. Some users also claimed that the sound recording was cutting in and out. Therefore, if recording the sound at the same time as the video is important for you and the projects you are working on, then you might want to look for other programs that may have better audio recording performance.
