How do you record your gameplay AND video cam when recording?

I never really understood how to record webcam. Everytime I look for a program its always some weird trial, or there just isn't one. What do you guys use to record your webcam while you're recording games or what have you?

That's why I don't use a webcam, but use a regular home video camera instead for face. (When I do face) :O
I think you can use Windows Movie Maker to film your webcamera, though, can you not?

can you really? I had no idea. I was never able to find a straight answer for my questions and I don't really have a video camera to use as it is now, though that gets me thinking I'd like to expand to that if I keep going with my channel

Depends on what you use, I dont do facecam but Mirillis Action, which is what I use, gives me the option to add a facecam by selecting a camera which is connected to my phone. So with what I use the program gives me to option to do so, I can even choose where I want it, but like said above, you could just record with a camera which is not connected to the pc, you can also just record the webcam with the software which should be brought along with a webcam.

I have a program that came with my Logitech webcam that records it, then I just sync the two different videos using both of their audio.

I use fraps to record my gameplay, but i'd recommend Dxtory if you can get it set up
In regards to the recording of your webcam windows movie maker is more than sufficient you don't need a fancy program to record your webcam!

Dunno if I'm late to give advice but I use three programs for my gaming - Bandicam to record the game and its sounds, Audacity for my voice, and OBS for webcam. I haven't had any problems with overtaxing my computer and it is a pretty ancient one as far as technology goes (6 years old).

OBS. It's free and really easy to learn (I watched a 15 min tutorial then tinkered with it). Pretty much you select what games/windows/monitors you want to capture, order them one on top of the other, and can crop/resize them. All you have to do is select the game (keep it full screen) and your webcam (shrink and move it to a corner).
