3
FlashBack Express24.3.2020 - In production5Has potential and nice extra features, comes short with empty promises, which are most likely available in pro versionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nfwE7PomO0https://www.flashbackrecorder.com/express/

 Debut Video Capture(Home version)23.4.2020 - In production2Devs did everything in their power to make it a headache.Sneaky, lying , program however has potential if potics were betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKazsD6aBrU/ (Home version has no webpage)
7
ShareX8.6.2020 - In production2Lacks features, nicely sorted. PS : Grade is because of video features, if I was reviewing screenshot capabilities it would be way higher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE8GIr507Rghttps://getsharex.com/

CamStudio10.6.2020 - In production4Just a solid goold old program, was not updated for a while, has contraversy, refer to wiki.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWuaGGSZPxchttps://camstudio.org/
9
Free Cam06.8.2020 - In production3Very simple, easy, missing basic and useful features, broad software name, no info online, its like it just fell from the sky, caution advised as there is no way to trust it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN_p-mtOF5Ihttps://www.freescreenrecording.com/
10
DVDVideoSoft’s Free Screen Video Recorder09.10.2020 - In production3Note:it has pause button, in my video I said it does not.Has potential, needs honest feedback and couple basic features to be above average and taken seriously, atm just a drag to use and not worth it, too much emphasis on trust when in fact its not transparent, someone used sneaky tactics with this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SYw-plijMwhttps://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Screen-Video-Recorder.htm
11
Ezvid05.11.2020 - In production1Easily one of the worst ones so far, has features but all those features lack options to make them usable,some don't even work.No options for users,very dumb program.Company has Youtube channel where they promote their softwares but they also have videos on other stuff, questionable videos.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYhOCd64q5ohttps://www.ezvid.com/ezvid_for_windows
12
TinyTake20.11.2020 - In production1Features locked behind pay wall, many features dont work properly, no settings to adjust anything about video recording.Its clear it was made for monitary gain, waste of time.https://youtu.be/NkEm0Ftqa3shttps://tinytake.com/
13
Loom23.11.2020 - In production6Theres a trial period of 14 days.("Start with a fully-featured, 14-day trial of Loom Business" is what their website says), can not opt out of it.Fine program, designed well with cute features, 9 for what its designed to do, 2 for desktop recording.https://youtu.be/fGRTktn-G-sloom.com
14
Icecream Screen Recorder29.11.2020 - In production , 17.12.2020 - Started over4Just below average program, nothing we have not seen before. IMPORTANT NOTE : I was not able to export webm sample recording so I had to convert it to mp4 because Premiere Pro always stopped its exporting process once webm recording was supposed to be rendered(thats why I said its not edit friendly format).Shouldn't matter at all because quality stayed the same.https://youtu.be/Od9XFXINPhYhttps://icecreamapps.com/Screen-Recorder/
15
Screencast-O-Matic21.12.2020 - In production5Limited offers are not so limited.Other than that program is fair, developers transparent.Best description for program is "For one time use only".Player/Editor is Very similar to Apowersoft Online Screen Recorder.Video and Audio bitrate is awful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnkAb9hQn6Yhttps://screencast-o-matic.com/
16
Screenrec25.12.2020 - In production5Its not for every day full desktop recording use, but what it is designed to do it does well and it gets an 8 for that, but 2 for everything else.Big potential of becoming paid program in future.Use with caution and try not to rely on it without having this in mind.Very "young" program, has few transparancy issues.But definitely useable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSMePVJ_8SYhttps://screenrec.com/
