After that, click next, the next thing, enter the name for the video and also the location where you want to save the captured video, and then press next.
On the tab window you can see, you can choose the quality of the playback, while I select the default, that is best quality, and then press next. Now you can see in this window, you can preview the output of your webcam. And as you have two buttons, one to start capturing, stop capture. Use the button to click the start capture button and then start recording it. When you finish, and then click on the stop capture button.
