To start recording your webcam in Camtasia, follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable Webcam Recording
First, turn off your screen recording if you’re not capturing your screen. Then, toggle the Webcam button on. This will activate your webcam for the recording. If you notice a blank background, it’s because the webcam is covered. This is normal and can be adjusted once the recording starts.
Step 2: Starting the Recording
You can start the webcam recording by pressing the F9 hotkey, or simply click the Record button in the Camtasia interface.
Step 3: Viewing Your Webcam
During the recording, you will see a live view of what’s being recorded from your webcam. If you want to see a larger view, click the up arrow to expand the webcam window for a better preview.
Step 4: Stopping the Recording
To stop the recording, press the F10 hotkey, or click the Stop button if you prefer using the interface. Once you’re finished, your webcam recording will be saved according to your set preferences.
By following these steps, you can begin recording and editing with ease in Camtasia.
