Bandicam v8.1.1

48 MBupdated 2026-09-14 ★ 4.7Pre-activatedScreen Recording

Bandicam records the screen, a selected window or a DirectX/Vulkan game with hardware encoders that keep CPU load low during capture. The three capture modes cover full-screen recording, a fixed region and game capture, and the overlay reports FPS, dropped frames and audio levels while recording runs.

Output lands in H.264, HEVC, AVI or MP4 with separate audio tracks, and the built-in editor trims clips and joins segments. Scheduled recording, webcam overlay and mouse-click effects round out the toolset. The package installs offline and accepts the licence during setup.
