         | Recently at work I found myself having to create a guide
         | showing many configuration steps on Windows. For this task, I
         | installed OBS, set my screen up as the video input, and
         | proceeded to record everything I needed to. Through this
         | activity, I thought that OBS had way more functionality than I
         | needed for such a simple task. I was also surprised that my
         | employer didn't scrutinize me more for installing software
         | that's capable of streaming desktop/webcam video and
         | application/microphone audio from this corporate workstation to
         | some random server on the internet. For my application,
         | something like Wcap would have been a better fit.

         |  _Wcap_ is better to compare with screen recorders such
         | _Wondershare DemoCreator_ or _Camtasia Studio_ , where last two
         | often used by newbie - there are a lot of videos with
         | watermarks of shareware/trial _Wondershare DemoCreator_ and
         | _Camtasia Studio_ .
