I am using the suddenly lost copyright, although not updated as new recommendations, disappointed.

Took a few minutes to validate, i thought it was not going to for a while. Overall it is easy to use and records with out pause. I really like that it saves in MP4. Good deal.

well.... maybe it is a good software, but the simple fact that OBS is open source, therefore entirely free and always is in continuous development, (Kudos to the developers !) makes it bein the first choice for me.... recording multiple sources... live mixing like a tv studio and live streaming it to the world, all in one non bloated, modern software.... just perfect.... thanks GOTD for the offer, but i pass this time.... have a look at OBS folks....

Well it works finally; glad they got the registration failures solved. I nearly gave up like many others that probably already did.

I do have a gripe though.

Joining video clips of the exact same size is a simple task, but one pixel off, and many video merge programs balk.

Frequent users of Screen Recorders often need to record different areas and different sizes. Naturally, the screen recorder programs allow the user to select the four corners to record. The sad thing is that after getting the four corners set, there is no way to save them so they can be more easily set back up again in the future. That need arises as soon as a different area needs to be recorded, and then the same dimensions of the first need to be recorded again. One pixel off, and you end up with two pieces of video that require serious manipulation before they can be joined together.

Wouldn't it be nice to allow users to save their own defined and "named" layouts to use later? The only way I have found to get around this dilemma is to use competing products, one for each area. I let that one remember until the next time. It would be better if one of these could save multiple layouts.

When a program has competition from other developers, each one strives to be the "chosen one" among all the others. But when a developer overlooks an important need, and the only solution is to use a competitor's product, that cannot be a good thing. For one, the user might decide a competitor is better overall, and forget the others. This program has that very problem, as does the other screen recorder programs that I have found.

Thankfully, this program does remember the last setting even after a reboot. Some others do too, but so far as I know, none can save a list that can be easily chosen the next time. Is it too much to ask for one that can save a list? I'm going to keep asking developers until one does it, and then I can drop the others.

Maybe there is one out there that does that very thing and I have missed it. Does anyone know of one?

Sane problem. key invalid. Tried closing and reopening. Tried a full system reboot. No luck.

Downloaded, installed, activated with user email & serial key very smoothly and without problems.
Did a virus scan before install and it was clean.
Allowed software to install to C:\Program Files (x86)\Joyoshare Screen Recorder
as per default. You can choose otherwise if you wish.
Tested its usage.
You can choose your own folder (instead of the default) to send video screen capture output.
I did.
The default hot key for capture start and stop is Ctrl Alt F11.
You can change that to another hotkey combination, but I did not.
Captured a screen video using a region select area method.
During capture, the Pause and Stop buttons are visible for you to mouse click.
You can also use hotkey to Stop.
You can choose to record Video with Audio; or only Audio.
You can change that to another video codec but I did not. The default is to MP4.
MP4 is fine with me.
The output video was played back to check and it was excellent in video & audio quality.
So far at this early stage of use, unable to find any negative downsides of this software.

Not good for record game full screen ! Not working !

If you are experiencing registration problem, make sure that there is no space at the beginning of the registration code.

Edit not working ! Limited version ?

I think the registration problem is related to the extra leading blank when you copy the registration code from the readme.txt file. Just move the cursor to the beginning of teh registration code and delete the space.

After I deleted the leading blank (space), no more problem.

Default video results were low quality. :(

Same errors as below, 502 and reg key invalid, but when I rebooted after installation, works fine now.

Reg still does not work as I have tried 3 times going to pass on this one.

I appreciate the program. I need a screen recorder that records for an unlimited time and I prefer it record to mp4 format but I just need it to use less resources as I am limited to 8GB of RAM (even though I thought that would change when I purchased Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). Plus I like how bandicam adds the control bar at top. Wouldn't mind it allowing record, stop start from system tray as well. It installed and registered without any issues. It runs and records well but uses over 50% resources.

Registration message web page and registration is now working. No more gateway errors. It will reg with any email as far as i know.

All my recordings have been wishy washy, washed out and not sharp enough. No matter if full screen or area. Idk if it's a matter of playback utility, i doubt it, everything i tested does play recorded video in a unsharp manner, unsharp in terms of recorded text displayed in the video. Bummer is, quality is okayish, just not sharp and originally colorful enough. For the things i want to use it for, i have to give it a straight pass.

registration key is invalid - maybe we are supposed to use a username@giveawayoftheday.com email?

I prefer a video capture program to have the added ability to take timed captures of a screen so I can do time-lapsed videos of regularly refreshed status windows of microwave connection with time stamps that then playbeack at time-compressed rate. i.e. capture one frame every 15 seconds and play back at 15 frames per second or 30 frames per second with the player capable of frame by frame stepping. This cannot do that.

Tried the fix, uninstalled then re-installed (running the installer as administrator) I also started the program using the "run as administrator" and still got message "registration info is invalid"

It does not apparently seem to be aware of Vista or better sound subssytems and the WASAPI system that permits the purely digital interception of outbound sound data streams so that even sound chips that don't have a waveout or soundmixer or other input pin for capturing the systems audio output can still capture the systems sound in the software domain without having to resort to pseudo soundcard drivers and T filters to redirect the audio around and about the houses... Nice try but no better than free tools from early 2000's We are over 10 years after WASAPI introduction and this is a new development project so come on use current technology and not technology close to two decades old!

Company web site say 64 bit or higher would of been nice to know before wasting time on it for my 32 bit system, head up give away folks, let us know what's needed to have it work, a lot of folks still have old systems.

For those of you having problems with a successful registration, even after following the instructions in the Read Me file, and receiving the "registration info invalid" message, I rebooted my laptop and tried again and this time it was successful. Something to try. :) Good luck.

"registration info invalid" when internet is on.
but try after turn off internet "registration sucsesfully".
now my question is " it is genuine product ?"

Registered fine first time. Program worked fine until I closed it and restarted the program. Now it tells me to buy now I only have a trial version and it will watermark the video and only record one minute of audio. Tried registering a second time. No change still a trial version.

Download & registration easy. Recorded 13.4mb Mp4 video of 3 minutes bbc news. Audio good Video quality good. Will have to record screen of movie and see how it compares in quality and output size to Debut screen recorder. Fraps gives generally too large output file for my liking, so I prefer Debut and reckon today's giveaway may replace that. Like what I've seen so far.
Probably a keeper,

"Registration info is invalid" that all it will show so cannot get it to work

Their website is up for me, maybe the regisrations could work now, give it another try!

I often wonder when I see a version 1.0 of a product exepecially if it is being sold commercially ... what alpha and beta and release candidates builds did it have to go through to get to a potentially stable version 1.0 developers rarely admit the work it took to get a release build 1.0 either because there was soooo many bugs to iron out OR they did no significant pre-release testing and have just whacked it out there to try and get some sucker to pay them for it... and use them as alpha/beta testers and hide behind an EULA that disowns any responsability for fitness for purpose and sell it as is. Could find no version history for this as expected...

Following reg instructions as per .txt file - fails. ie enter your email address into reg box and provided code from readme.txt - invalid.
Also testing this - the frame rate is shite, not even a consistent 1 frame per second on my 2.GHz core duo laptop?
Efectively pretty useless.
Also it did not record system sound - maybe a laptop issue as I cant do with other software either - ie speaker sound not recordable.
To record streaming vid - try a chrome streaming capture extension - this works great on SOME video sites.

I was not expecting to be one of the folks with complaints, but on trying registration, the provided key is supposedly invalid and the page automatically loading "https://api.joyoshare.cn/api/product/redirect?pid=10302&page_type=install" times out!
It seems the developers site is having problems, at least at times as some people have apparently been able to register.
I probably will stay with Ashampoo 9 I got recently, which is even better than the excellent version 8, also offered as a Giveaway.

Quite unfortunate.

How to solve the issue with registration? Not very clear. Can some one who solved this please tell me?

Will not accept registration. Keeps telling me it is invalid

Bad Gateway when it tries to connect to their site for reg. Win7 Pro.

The registration is a joke.

First it just sits there with a spinning wheel and then, when it eventually seems to work, it returns an error.

If you can't get the basics right then it doesn't say much for the possible quality of the software.

The software hangs on Windows 7 Pro. Very unreliable and not worth it. I would recommend to use Ashampoo Snap software which is more stable and way better and cheap too.

As I was looking for a decent screen recorder I gave this a try but kept having audio and video sync problems. Unfortunately this is not a keeper for me.

Off- topic but whne I clicked on the Cyberghost ad at the top of the page I got the following message:

Your connection is not secure

The owner of security.cyberghostvpn.com has configured their web site improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this web site.

Don't know what to make of it but it can't be doing much for Cyberghost's reputation. Maybe GOTD don't have any control over the ads they carry. Just saying. Oh to have the old GOTD day's back! Thank goodness we've still got a few stalwarts who do their best to provide knowledgeable and useful analyses. Many grateful thanks to you guys!

At least one option is missing - moving the recording area wile pausing the recording (many applications have this option)

Thanks for the straight forward registration. All GOTD should be so simple.

It will not record any sound...? Tried different microphones too. Bug? Any solution?

Installation / Registration: Fine. Tells you in the license that it is going to dial home. Writes the word 'musics' instead of 'music' throughout the license agreement.

I tried it with a game and accepted the defaults and played the game while it was recording.

Pro's:
Easy to use;
good quality image;
automatically saves when you end;
will show you where the file is stored and allow you to change the name;
you can see a preview and manage the videos through the interface;
very nice mouse click indication.

Cons:
Very small interface and you can't enlarge it,
when minimised to system tray you have to go find it there to stop the video;
doesn't allow you to change the default storage area;
sound is out of sync if you play the video outside of the software's interface - and this is a deal breaker for me.

If your sound and your video doesn't start at the same time, the audio will start anyway when the video starts and not in the right place which means that the two are not in sync. So for instances where you have intermittent sounds or music this software is useless.

No problems with registration on my desktop pc, but when trying to register the software on my laptop I'm told "registration info invalid." Thinking that it's probably because I used the same e-mail address, I tried registering using my back up e-mail address, but still being told registration info invalid. I've sent Joyoshare support an e-mail and hopefully they'll reply before the giveaway expires. We will see!

It would be nice if you would tell the company that you are offering the system requirements to run on only 64-bit systems! I would have spared an unnecessary installation for me. True, you can search the company's website, but since we're downloading the program from here, I'm here to look at it first. And if someone does not say that only one of them, then I assume it's good for 32 bit and 64 bit too. Thanks for the disappointment that I can not use it, but I've already wondered if I might have a good screen recorder.

Been using OBS Studio for some time now. Anybody knows how Joyoshare fares compared to OBS Studio?

Issue about Registration Info solved. Thanks.

An excellent video recorder...what I was looking for a long time. Thumbs up !

i try it in a online game (WoT) with settings M4 HD.
Not good.
For simple tasks maybe it ok.

It's extremely tiny box the width of it are shorter than the length of my pinky finger and it's hard to read the micro fonts ... I cannot see if I could adjust the size of your box >>> could you please give me advice?

I have been looking for a program that works like a VCR that does live (timed) streaming recording for a long time requesting giveawayoftheday community recommendations
Screen recording vs Screen/stream capture
Capture preferred
Screen recording has drawbacks. You must devote your screen while recording and it records buffering
Thank You in advance

design Surprise me and work by it give me the good feeling
