How to Resize the Recording Area in oCam
Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →
The main screen of oCam includes various buttons designed for intuitive use of its features, and among them, the "Resize" button is one of the key functions for customizing the recording area. When you click this button, a clean and user-friendly pop-up menu appears. This menu provides a variety of options for flexibly adjusting the size and resolution of the recording area, making it easy for everyone from beginners to IT professionals to configure settings that best fit their working environment.
When the pop-up menu opens, the sizes shown represent the resolution of the recording area, and clicking a menu item immediately adjusts the recording area to the selected resolution. For example, if you choose a standard resolution such as 1920x1080 (Full HD) or 1280x720 (HD) under the YouTube category, the oCam recording frame will be set to that size and recording will proceed at the exact resolution. oCam supports resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) by default, making high-resolution content creation possible. In particular, when using the MPEG-4 codec, it supports resolutions up to 8K (7680x4320). This is especially useful for professionals who need high-quality video production, such as recording high-resolution gameplay footage or performing professional video editing work.
The pop-up menu also includes a "Full Screen" menu item. Clicking this option automatically sets the recording area to cover the entire monitor screen. If you press the Record button in this state, the whole screen will be recorded, which is especially useful when capturing the entire desktop, presentations, or full-screen gameplay. Full Screen mode is the best choice when you want to record all on-screen content easily without setting a separate area.
Another powerful feature is the "Find Recording Target Window" menu item. When you click this option, the window under the mouse pointer is highlighted with a red rectangular box. If you move the mouse over the window you want and click it, that window area is automatically set as the recording area. This feature is very useful when you want to record or capture only a specific window, such as an application or browser window. For example, when creating software tutorials or recording the workflow of a specific program, you can capture only the necessary window cleanly without unnecessary background, greatly improving work efficiency.
Finally, the "Custom Size" menu item is an option that allows users to control the size of the recording area more precisely. Clicking this menu opens a separate input window, where users can directly enter the horizontal and vertical pixel values of the desired resolution to set the recording area. This feature is especially useful when a non-standard resolution or a custom size is needed for a specific project. For example, it can be used when you need to match the resolution requirements of a video for upload to a social media platform or record at a size optimized for a specific device.
With these various options, oCam's resize feature makes it possible to set the recording area flexibly and precisely according to the user's needs. The ability to set the desired resolution and area with just a few clicks clearly shows oCam's intuitive design and efficiency. In addition, you can further optimize your workflow by adjusting the save path, file naming rules, or detailed codec settings in the Settings menu. If you want high-quality video or need to capture a specific window, we recommend actively using oCam's resize feature to get the results you want with ease.

How to Capture Images with oCam
Clicking the Capture button on the main screen of oCam immediately captures the screen within the recording area you have set. This feature is very useful when you want to save a precise snapshot of a specific part of the screen. Through oCam's intuitive interface, users can freely adjust the capture area in advance and take screenshots exactly as needed by selecting the full screen, a specific window, or a custom area. This flexibility is especially useful for document work, preparing presentation materials, or for IT professionals who need to record specific UI elements.
Once the capture is complete, oCam saves the image in PNG format by default, providing a sharp, high-quality result. PNG format supports lossless compression, so you can keep clear screenshots without any loss of image quality, and it is compatible with most image editing software and platforms. In the oCam settings menu, users can also change the save format to other types such as JPG or BMP, allowing them to balance file size and quality according to project requirements.
To check the captured image, click the "Open" button on the main screen of oCam. When you click this button, Windows Explorer opens automatically and shows the most recently captured file already selected. This feature helps users review and use captured images right away. Since it takes you directly to the folder where the file is saved through Windows Explorer, file management also becomes much easier.
oCam's capture feature is simple yet powerful, making it useful in a wide range of situations from everyday tasks to professional environments. For example, software developers can use it to record bugs or share UI designs, while instructors can use it to prepare teaching materials. In addition, through the oCam settings menu, you can change the save location to a custom folder or set file naming rules when capturing for more organized file management. In this way, oCam provides high-quality screenshots with simple controls and greatly improves work efficiency.
