How can I prevent the oCam main window from being included in the recording?
When recording the full screen or using other recording modes with oCam, the oCam main window may be included in the video by default. To prevent this, use the method below. This allows you to record the screen cleanly without the oCam main window appearing in the video.
If you minimize oCam and then press the recording shortcut key F2, recording will start without including the main window. This method also works when recording the full screen or a specific area, and it is useful for keeping the oCam interface out of the video.
How to use it:
1. Open the oCam main window.
2. Minimize the oCam window to the taskbar so it is hidden from the screen.
3. Press the F2 key on your keyboard to start recording.
When recording is finished, press F2 again to stop it. With this method, you can exclude the oCam main window from the video and get a cleaner recording result. If needed, you can also check or change the shortcut key settings in the 'Options' menu.

How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures
Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.
Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.
By default, files are saved in the following format.
<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>
The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.
With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.
Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>
If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.
If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,
set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.
