Recording your gameplay for web sharing, your Skype meetings and conversations for future reference, a tutorial of the tool you’re best at, or simply taking a screenshot of a specific window or area of your desktop are activities that are becoming more and more common every day. Icecream Screen Recorder meets all these needs and whatever other screen recording tasks you’d need to carry out, and all of them for free.

Following the attractive interface and the intuitive approach present in all Icecream products, this screen-recording tool opens in a cream-colored main screen with all the main tools within easy reach. From here, you can review the program’s settings or go directly to capture video, capture your gameplay, take a screenshot, or capture any audio input.

Capture Video will record any activity taking place on your screen or any feed coming in through your webcam. You can define a specific area of your desktop, select the active window, or record the entire screen. You can choose to trace your mouse pointer, include or not the audio stream in the video file, and even paint or highlight specific areas using the brushes and the color palette provided. Besides, in the Game Capture Mode, you can define the level of quality, your preferred FPS, and the video file type. Taking a screenshot works in a similar fashion. You can capture the entire desktop, a specific window, or an area of your choice. Likewise, you can use the pencil provided to make annotations or marks on the part of the screen you wish to capture. more
