ActivePresenterIt’s hard to find decent free screen recording software for your PC. Mac are lucky as they are taken care of with the Advanced QuickTime software that is already installed by default on Mac. There is many different types of commercial screen recording software available like Captivate and Camtasia that offer lots of extra capabilities to create eLearning simulations and training. Other free software like Screenr have many limitations including limited time to record, watermarks, trial limitations, constant reminders to buy full version and don’t have many tools to edit and enhance screen recordings and presentations.
