Check out the top 3 best free screen recorders without watermark in this article. This list includes top 3 powerful screen recording software for Windows and Mac which will not leave a watermark on your video recording.
Frankly speaking, there are dozens of free screen recorders you can use on the market now. They all have the capability to record video on the screen with narration plus some annotation tools to use for free. However, you can only use some of them because of the watermark and video length limitation. It’s annoying that the developer put a huge watermark on your output video just to protect their license or to encourage you to purchase their Pro license.
In today post, I will share with you top 3 best free screen recorders you can use on your Windows (or Mac). These programs will not either leave a watermark or time limit on your recordings. They are completely free to use.
Actually, two of them appeared in our previous review of 5 best free screen recorders no watermark in 2017. Sadly, time passes, human heart changes. I have to re-write my article since some developers inserted a watermark on the output without advanced notice to the users. Anyway, we have to accept that since we are just free users. They can’t get money from us, right? Here are top 3 best free screen recorders for you in 2018.

2. OBS Studio – Best Free and Open Source Screen Recorder For Gaming and Streaming
Frankly speaking, I am not a fan of open source programs because they are not always safe to use. Added to that, technical support is very limited too. OBS Studio (or Open Broadcaster Studio) is an exception. This is the only open source program I am using now for creating how-to tutorials and recording game-play on my computer. It is in some case more powerful than ActivePresenter. For example, if you want to record high speed games at 60 or 90 fps, OBS Studio can perform very. Added to that OBS Studio has a live streaming function that streamers would love to use it. To understand more about OBS Studio, please read our detail review here! (Don’t be lazy!).
