Today, there is a number of
reasons for which one can require a screen recording software for their
computer like someone wants to record a tutorial video or someone want to make
youtube videos. And to fulfill this need, you can download a number of free software
which are available on the web but what happens when you come to know that your
own favorite VLC media player can do the same for you.
Yes, your VLC the media player can record your pc screen for you and now you don’t have
to download and install any external software just for a simple screen
recording task.
As we
all know that most of us use VLC media player for our computer
to play our media file and we all agree that VLC is the king of all media
players but there are some many other feature VLC have and most of us don’t
know about it. One of its useful features is screen recording-

Note- Under the drop-down menu there is other three option which I
suggest you to try later to see some more interesting feature of VLC player.
