oCam now supports audio recording as well as video recording.
Click the Audio Recording tab on the oCam main screen to open a user-friendly and simple menu. This menu is designed to provide various recording options so users can 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.
Depending on your needs, you can use this feature to record only audio, such as for audio content creation, podcast recording, or capturing background music.
Click the Sound button to select the audio source, such as system audio or microphone input settings, then click the Record button on the screen to start recording. This feature is very useful for tasks that require audio-only recording. 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 setting changes can be completed in just a few clicks, maximizing user convenience.
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. This format provides a good balance between audio quality and file size, making it suitable for general use. However, for users with more specific requirements, oCam also provides an option to choose audio codecs other than MP3 through the Codec button. If you select AAC format, you can maintain high audio quality with efficient compression, making it a flexible choice depending on the project.
This setup process clearly shows 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 path, audio quality, and input sources in the settings menu. For example, you can adjust the volume levels of the microphone and system audio separately, or set a save folder to optimize your workflow. Thanks to this flexibility and convenience, oCam is used in a wide range of environments, from personal use to professional IT work. If you want high-quality audio recording, it is recommended to adjust the codec and detailed settings to suit your environment and achieve 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.
