How can I prevent the oCam main window from being included in the recording?
When recording the full screen or a specific area, the oCam main window may sometimes appear in the recording as well.
This happens especially often in full-screen recording mode and can interfere with a clean recording.
There is a simple way to fix this.
First, minimize the main window while the oCam program is running.
Once the window is minimized, the oCam main window disappears from the screen and will not be included in the recording area.
Then press the F2 hotkey for recording to start recording.
This allows you to record only the desired screen cleanly, without the oCam main window.

How to Add a Custom Watermark to Recorded Videos
Adding a watermark to videos recorded with oCam helps clearly indicate the source of the video and reduce the chance of unauthorized use by others. A watermark is a feature that inserts a specific image into the video, such as a logo, text, or icon, to identify the creator or ownership. This is effective for protecting the uniqueness of the video and promoting your brand.
To add a watermark in oCam, first click 'Tools' in the top menu of the oCam main window, then select 'Options'. When the Settings window opens, click 'Watermark' in the left menu to go to the watermark settings screen.
On the watermark settings screen, you can adjust several options. First, if you check 'Use Watermark', the selected image will be inserted as a watermark in the recorded video. You can choose the image to use as the watermark under 'Image Path', and PNG, JPG, and BMP formats are supported. PNG format in particular also supports images with an alpha channel (transparency), so you can use logos or images with transparent backgrounds.
The 'Opacity' setting adjusts the transparency of the watermark image. If the opacity is set to 100%, the watermark image will appear fully opaque. The lower the value, the more transparent the image becomes, allowing it to blend more naturally into the video. This lets you adjust the watermark so it does not interfere with the readability of the video.
The 'Position' setting determines where the watermark appears in the video. For example, you can choose the top left or bottom right so the watermark appears in the desired area of the screen. This allows you to place the watermark without covering the main content of the video.
For example, if you set a specific logo image as the watermark and start recording, that image will appear as a watermark at the selected position in the final video. A watermark added in this way makes the source of the video clear and helps viewers easily identify the creator.
If you want to create your own watermark image, search for "create watermark" on a search site to find various design tools and methods. For example, you can use graphic editing programs such as Photoshop or Canva to create a logo or text, or use an online watermark generator to easily create a distinctive watermark.
Using the watermark feature in oCam, you can give your videos a more professional and secure finish with just a few simple settings. Try creating your own unique videos with the right image and settings.
