Unlike other screen recorders, VLC is the simple screen recording software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its interface is designed for playing videos and it may take you some effort to record screen on the computer.

Let’s dive right it.

Step 1: Run VLC, click Media at the top menu, and select Convert / Save to open the Open Media dialog box.

Step 2: Navigate the Capture Device tab. In the Capture mode section, there are 3 recording modes, DirectShow, TV – Digital, and Desktop.

Desktop: VLC will capture anything on your desktop.

TV – Digital: VLC records the screen from a TV tuner card.

DirectShow: VLC can record screen from a webcam.

Select the recording mode depending on your needs, and here we will choose Desktop to record your desktop screen.

Step 3: Select the desired frame rate. VLC supports a frame from 1 fps to 100 fps. The higher the frame rate, the better the quality and the larger the file size.

After that, click Convert / Save button to continue.

Step 4: Choose the output file format for the screen recording file by clicking the down arrow associated with Profile.

Afterward, Click Browse to specify where to save the recording file.

Finally, click Start to record any activities from your computer desktop.

Step 5: Right-click the red button to select Stop to discontinue screen recording.

Alternatively, the Stop playback button at the bottom will also stop the desktop recording in VLC.

After that, you can open the saved recording video file where you set the destination.
