You can set the hotkeys according to your preferences.

First, download the Screen Recorder for free and install it on your Windows PC.

Before you start recording, you may want to adjust some settings, such as the volume balance between the microphone and system sound, the size and position of the camera on your screen, microphone noise reduction, and more. There will be a record-setting and you can set the preferences as you like. See the following steps:

Step 1: Launch Aiseesoft Screen Recorder and it will present four options. Now choose the first one “Video Recorder”. And then, you need to set the exact resolution of the clip.

Step 5: When you want to stop recording, you can press the stop recording hotkey to watch the video. Then click “Save videos” to download the recorded WMV/MP4 Apex Legends video to your PC.
