Desktop capture software is a great way to keep track of your desktop on any OS. There are many options available, and you can find the best one for you based on your needs. If you’re looking for a free desktop capture software, we recommend using Windows 10’s built-in capture tool, CMD+X.
Screen Toaster is a Java-based screen recorder that will work on any operating system that has Java and Flash player installed.
Record Your Screen
This may be something that doesn’t need to be said, but in order to record your screen with Screen Toaster you will need to have Oracle’s Java and Adobe’s flash player installed. Please download and install both pieces of required software first.
Next just go to Screen Toaster’s website (link below) and click “start recording”.
Allow the Java program to run when prompted.
Select options to record the full desktop or just part of it, and if you want to record with embedded audio or webcam feed.
The geek settings will also allow you to chose your playback speed and give you the ability to record a monitor on a remote computer with VNC.
Click record or push the shortcut key Alt+S.
Once the recording is done you will have options to re-record the audio, add captions, upload the video to YouTube or Screen Toaster, or download the video so you can have the file for further editing.
If you want to try the latest and greatest you can check out Screen Toaster beta. It provides better quality but doesn’t support all OS’s and features yet. The interface is a little different but it is still just as simple and just as free.
