How to Record Audio Only with oCam
Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →
On the main screen of oCam, click the Audio Recording tab to open a simple, user-friendly menu. This menu provides various recording options in oCam, allowing users to adjust the settings as needed. One of oCam's strengths is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to use for everyone from beginners to IT professionals.
You can use this feature whenever you want to record only audio, such as for creating audio content, recording podcasts, or capturing background music.
Click the Sound button to choose the audio source, such as system sound or microphone input settings, and then click the Record button on the screen to start recording. This feature is very useful for tasks where you need to focus only on audio. For example, it is efficient when you want to extract lecture audio separately, record an interview, or make a simple voice recording. Thanks to oCam's simple controls, these settings can be changed in just a few clicks, making the user experience even more convenient.
By default, audio files are saved in MP3 format. MP3 is one of the most widely used formats for audio recording because it offers small file sizes and excellent compatibility with most devices and software. It provides a good balance between sound quality and file size, making it suitable for general use. However, for users with more specific needs, oCam also provides an option to select audio codecs other than MP3 through the Codec button. If you choose AAC format, you can maintain high sound quality with efficient compression, giving you more flexibility depending on your project.
These settings clearly show how simple yet powerful oCam is. oCam is more than just a screen recording tool. It is versatile software that also supports professional audio recording tasks. Users can further adjust details such as the file save location, audio quality, and input source in the oCam settings menu. For example, you can adjust the volume levels of the microphone and system sound separately, or specify a save folder to optimize your workflow. Thanks to this flexibility and convenience, oCam is widely used in many different environments, from individual users to IT professionals. If you want high-quality audio recordings, it is recommended to adjust the codec and detailed settings to match your working environment for the best results.

How to Record Microphone and Computer Audio Together While Recording (Windows Vista, 7, 8)
For Windows Vista, 7, and 8, normal operation may not be guaranteed because Microsoft has ended support for these operating systems. (Reference)
In the oCam main window, click the Sound button.
The following menu will appear, and by default, No Microphone Recording is selected.
Select the microphone you want to record. ( If your microphone does not appear in the list, refer to the instructions below. )
Once selected, the setting will be applied as shown below, and the microphone audio will be recorded together.
If the microphone device does not appear in the list above even though the microphone is connected, proceed as follows.
( If, as shown below, no microphone-related menu appears at all and only the system sound recording menu is shown, or if a microphone item appears but not all microphone devices are listed, or if you are using a separately purchased audio interface, the audio interface device rather than the default microphone device should appear in the list. If it does not, follow this procedure. )
Go to Start Menu - Control Panel.
In Control Panel, find and click Sound.
The following window will appear. Click the Recording tab.
In the Recording tab, right-click the white area where it says No audio devices are installed to open the pop-up menu. ( Or, if recording devices are listed but the device you want does not appear. )
Click Show Disabled Devices.
Select the microphone device you want to use, right-click it, and click Enable.
( If you are using an audio interface, a separate recording device called Line In may appear instead of a microphone, and you should record using that device. )
In oCam, click the Sound button to check whether the microphone device now appears correctly.
