If you want to record a microphone as well, click the Sound button on the main screen of oCam, and a popup will appear as shown below. Select a microphone to record.


If checked, the settings are applied as follows and the microphone is recorded together.


If you do not want to record sound at all, uncheck Record system sound and uncheck Do not record microphone.
