Instructional videos are one of the most popular types of videos as they are able to inherently provide valuable advice and information. If you want to create an instructional video of your own about how to perform a task on a computer, the first thing you’ll need to do is record footage from your computer screen.

Of course ideally you’ll probably want your instructional video to have a voiceover, background music, and text captions, and may also want to edit it in other ways. That is why it makes sense to use Movavi Screen Capture Studio, as it will provide you with the tools you need while also making sure that it is easy to use.
