Screen Recorder for PC Is Built and Written by the Aura Team
Screen Recorder for PC is an independent guide to recording the Windows desktop, and the home of Aura, our free screen recorder for PC. The Aura Team explains how to capture video and audio on Windows 10 and Windows 11, compares built-in and third-party tools, and publishes tested settings for tutorials, gameplay and meetings. When you want to try the recorder yourself, download Aura, the screen recorder for PC.
Who we are: the Aura Team
The Aura Team is the group behind both the software and this website. We build Aura, and we write and maintain every guide here, so the advice comes from people who record their own screens every day. We use the same tools we review, and we say so on any page where we recommend our own product.
What we set out to do
Most people who search for a screen recorder for PC want the same three things: a clean recording, clear audio and a file they can share. Our goal is to get you there in fewer steps, with settings that are explained and verified rather than guessed.
How we test
- We record on Windows 10 and Windows 11, using hardware encoding where the GPU supports it.
- We compare file size, bitrate and frame stability at 1080p30, 1080p60 and 4K before recommending a setting.
- We record system audio and the microphone together and check levels with a short test clip.
- We update guides when Windows or a tool changes, and we show the updated date on every page.
About Aura

It records your full screen, a single window or a custom region, adds a webcam overlay, and captures system audio and the microphone. It has a dedicated game recording mode and an editing timeline with separate tracks for screen, camera and microphone. Recordings are saved on your own computer as MP4 video. You can see the interface in the screen recorder for PC demo video, then download Aura for Windows.
