What FlashBack is
FlashBack is Windows screen recording software for making tutorials, demos, presentations, training materials, and support videos. FlashBack Express records the screen, webcam, microphone, and PC audio, including across multiple monitors. Its free Starter plan has no recording time limit or video watermark and allows unlimited videos. Capture can cover the full screen, a window, or a selected region. Recordings can be exported as MP4, AVI, or WMV. Paid plans add multi-track editing and professional video editing tools, plus options for adding text, images, and effects and for zooming in on or spotlighting key actions. FlashBack Express supports Windows 10 and Windows 11. The maker also lists Camigo virtual camera, Video Converter, FBX game recorder, and FlashBack SDK; the SDK adds screen recording to Windows applications and provides wrappers for C#, C++, and Python. FlashBack is made by FlashBack, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The maker’s support contact page offers help with licence keys, activation, troubleshooting, installation, and setup. It says purchases are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
