Is there an equivalent of Snipping Tool for capturing video from a denoted area?

0

There's a very handy application that comes with Windows 10 called Snipping Tool which allows me to capture a specific area of my screen.

The problem is that I can only capture a single image at a time. Is there a tool out there that is just as simple to use that will allow me to select an area to capture a video?

You are asking an off-topic question (software shopping). Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic. See On Topic. Try https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/ but please first read What is required for a question to contain "enough information".

Thank you. I had not heard of softwarerecs until now. Will use that in the future. – user1423893 – 2016-10-23T12:07:47.810

Try using OBS (Open Broadcaster oftware, https://obsproject.com) or CamStudio (http://camstudio.org), but I'm not sure if you can record only a certain area with CamStudio because I haven't used it

Please don't answer off-topic questions. – DavidPostill – 2016-10-23T11:36:05.030

Welcome to Super User. On-topic questions ask for a solution to a problem, and a software name is not a solution to an on-topic question. It's OK to recommend software as part of an answer, but there are some minimum expectations. It needs to add a lot more value than a random Google hit. What makes it a good solution to the specific issue? How do you use it to actually solve the problem? Good guidance on recommending software here: http://meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/how-do-i-recommend-software-in-my-answers. Thanks.
