How to Record a Twitch Stream | 3 Easy Ways

Twitch is one of the most popular platforms for streaming games online. In this video I’ve collected and compiled a few different ways that you can record these streams for later viewing. filmora.wondershare.com/

#3. Using Camtasia
This is one of the most expensive programs available on our list with a $199 licensing fee to use on Windows and Macintosh. Camasia does make video editing quite easy and with the assistance of their drag-and-drop video editor you can put together multiple streams and connect them. Although the tools are quite easy to use and there are plenty of neat effects, the editing software is quite expensive and it doesn't come with many options for video codec or quality.

#2. Using With Open Broadcaster Software
OBS is completely open source and free for all types of live streaming and screen capturing. You can download and start using this program quite quickly for game capture and as it is open source it's quite easy to make modifications or download extensions for the program. The biggest problem with this program is that it features only limited editing capabilities and only a few codecs for video capture.

#1. Using Filmora scrn
