How to record screen on a schedule using HyperCam 3

image

 

  By Olga Krovyakova - April, 2 2019

Sometimes you need to record specific events occurring on your desktop at a time, without user intervention. For example, if we want to record a web conference or seminar, online broadcasting of sporting event, or any other significant event that broadcasts at an inconvenient time for us, when we can not be near the computer, or we would like to pre-set the task of recording to the program and create a schedule for recording. Such task can be accomplished using HyperCam 3 and the standard Task Scheduler of our system.

Consider the case when you need to start recording of the Web resource strictly at a certain moment of time after turning on the computerTo create a schedule, you can use the standard Task Scheduler together withHyperCam 3. For this you will need to open a web resource at a time, which will be specified in the Scheduler as the start time.

1. Open HyperCam 3 to select the recording area (region, window or full screen). Setting will remain after closing the program and restart the computer.
