Screen recording on a Puget Systems laptop is a straightforward process that can be accomplished using various software applications. This guide will walk you through the steps of using a popular and user-friendly application known as OBS Studio. OBS Studio is a free and open-source software suite for recording and live streaming. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a versatile choice for many users.

Before you begin, you need to download and install OBS Studio on your Puget Systems laptop. Visit the OBS Studio website and download the version that corresponds to your operating system. Once the download is complete, open the installer and follow the prompts to install the software on your laptop. After the installation is complete, launch OBS Studio.

Upon launching OBS Studio, you will be greeted with a black screen. This is your "Scene," where you will be adding your "Sources" to record. To start, click on the "+" button under the "Sources" box. A list of options will appear. Select "Display Capture." This option will record everything that is displayed on your laptop screen.

A new window will pop up asking you to create a new Display Capture. You can name it whatever you like, then click "OK." Another window will appear showing a preview of your screen. If you have multiple monitors, you can select which one you want to record from the "Display" dropdown menu. Once you've made your selection, click "OK."

Before you start recording, you should adjust your recording settings. Click on "Settings" in the lower right corner of the OBS Studio window. A new window will open with several tabs on the left side. Click on the "Output" tab. Here, you can adjust the quality of your recording, the format of the video file, and where the file will be saved on your laptop. Make sure to select a location that has enough storage space for your recording.

Once you've adjusted your settings, you're ready to start recording. Click on the "Start Recording" button in the lower right corner of the OBS Studio window. Everything that is displayed on your selected screen will now be recorded. When you're finished recording, click on the "Stop Recording" button.

After stopping the recording, you can find the video file in the location you selected in the Output settings. You can now view, edit, or share your screen recording as you wish.

In conclusion, screen recording on a Puget Systems laptop using OBS Studio is a simple process that involves downloading and installing the software, setting up your screen capture, adjusting your recording settings, and starting and stopping the recording. With a little practice, you'll be able to easily record your screen for tutorials, presentations, or other purposes.
