Screen recordings that look edited, on Windows.
Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom zooms in where you click, smooths the cursor and frames the video. Recording and exporting are free.
Your recording is on disk while you record.
Common complaints about screen recorders include lost recordings, the wrong window in the video, audio that drifts and exports that hang. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom is built around those.
Saves as you record
Video is written to disk in short pieces while you record. If the app closes unexpectedly, it tries to recover the recording the next time it starts.
Records the window, not the screen
Window recording captures the window itself, not a crop of the screen.
One clock for every track
Screen, microphone, system sound and webcam are timed from the same clock.
Works without a graphics card encoder
Export uses your graphics card's video encoder when there is one, and a software encoder when there is not.
Free does the whole job.
Free has no time limit, no account and no export count. Premium adds higher quality and extra tools.

Questions
Is the free version limited in time?
No. There is no trial, no time limit, no export count and no credits. Free exports are MP4 up to 1080p at 30 fps with the small badge in the bottom-right corner.
Is there a subscription?
No. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom has no subscription. Premium is a one-time payment and includes updates for 1.x.
Do my recordings leave my PC?
No. Projects and exports stay in folders on your PC. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom has no cloud upload. The privacy policy lists every connection the app makes.
Does it record what I type?
Only if you turn on "Record keyboard shortcuts" for the shortcut overlay. It is off by default. Then it saves shortcuts like Ctrl+C to the project's folder. Letters you type are not saved.
What if I change PCs?
Deactivate Premium on the old PC in Settings, Premium. That frees the seat, and you can activate on the new PC. You can move a key yourself 3 times in 30 days (5 for a 5-PC key); after that, or if the old PC is gone, write to support and we will free it.
Does it need a graphics card?
No. Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom uses your graphics card's video encoder when there is one, and a software encoder when there is not. The software encoder is slower.
Download
Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom is coming to the Microsoft Store. The download link appears here on the day it is published.
Needs 64-bit Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11. Windows N and KN editions need the Media Feature Pack from Microsoft. It uses your graphics card's video encoder when there is one, and a software encoder when there is not. On an older Windows, or without an encoder, the app says why when you start a recording.
