Record a screen demonstration.

OBS Studio fits screen recording, scenes and audio sources. Start with its auto-configuration wizard and make a short recording on your actual computer. No streaming account is needed just to record.

Screen recording may capture notifications, private windows and other audio. Preview the frame and listen to the exported file before recording a full tutorial.

Run the auto-configuration wizard for recording.

Add the intended screen/window and microphone sources.

Record 20 seconds and check framing, sound and file size.

Use an audio editor to export a short WAV/MP3 for transcription.
