To record seminars, you can make the whole vigorous seminar process as videos without a slight loss of the information of exams, term papers, academic discussions. You can fully absorb yourself into the interaction with your classmates and professors while everything is recorded.

This passage introduces 2 practical recording tools that can assist you when you are attending seminars – digital recorders and laptop screen recorders.

Use External Webcam Plus Desktop Recorder to Record Seminars

Screen recording software plus internal webcam, this combination can only record your face (in front of your laptop) and as for recording those who are behind your laptop, unluckily not accessible. And this disadvantage makes an external webcam crucial to record seminars since an external webcam is powerful enough to record the environment in 360 degrees.

Preparations:
1. External Web Camera for Laptop – Genius WideCam F100

Genius WideCam F100 has been equipped with a wide-angle lens, which is different from the Normal Lens that reproduces the “natural vision” of human eyeballs. Cameras with a wide-angle lens are able to capture relatively more scenes in a situation. This merit is especially friendly to record large scenes such as recording seminars in grand halls.

2. Third-party screen recorder – RecMaster

RecMasteris an easy-to-use screen recorder with simple operation and intuitive overlays.
It is powerful recording software that enables users to create videos in crisp-HD quality, 60 FPS, customized-to-monitor resolution (theoretically 8k UHD, according to the monitor of users).

Step 1. Download and install RecMaster

Step 2. Choose Webcam Mode

Step 3. Plug in the Genius WideCam F100.

Windows recognizes your USB webcam the moment you plug the device in. So firstly, connect your external webcam to an USB port on your computer and wait until Windows installs the device drivers. A window then will appear in the system tray saying “Installing new hardware” and then “Your new hardware is installed and ready to use” appears, which means your drivers have been installed successfully.

Step 4. Choosing Webcam in Software
Now you can choose which of the two webcams to use from the software’s settings.
In RecMaster, choose “Options” and then “Tools,” and click “Video Device Settings.” Then choose the external webcam from the drop-down list.

Step 5. Start Recording
Hit the ‘REC’ button and RecMaster starts to capture with your external webcam.

Step 6. Stop Recording
When you finish recording, your videos will be automatically stored on your hard discs. You can go to the Recording List to check the footage and do some simple editing work.
