<p>Try to use <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/obsproject/files/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OBS (Open Broadcast Software)</a> for screen capture.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHmcsVOuFVU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Screen Capture with OBS</a></p>

<p>It not best option, but it easy  to use and it free.</p>

<p><strong>Best solution:</strong>
Capture to lossless codec like huffyuv, edit it and then encode for youtube (you can find tons guides about it).</p>

<p>It requires much more time to process, but you will get maximum quality.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-09-28)

I'm creating videos to post to YouTube.

My videos are about some jobs I do on the computer.

I watched some of my videos posted and that the quality of the video capture was not very good and clear.

**What should I do to improve the quality of the screen capture?**

To use better software?

I'm using [Windows Media Encoder](https://www.microsoft.com/pt-pt/download/details.aspx?id=98)

Try to use [OBS (Open Broadcast Software)](https://sourceforge.net/projects/obsproject/files/) for screen capture.

[Screen Capture with OBS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHmcsVOuFVU)

It not best option, but it easy to use and it free.

**Best solution:**
Capture to lossless codec like huffyuv, edit it and then encode for youtube (you can find tons guides about it).

It requires much more time to process, but you will get maximum quality.
