The laptop I'll be recording them with is running Windows 11 Pro.

Not loving the 'Camera' app that comes stock with Windows.

Tried recording just with my cellphone, but ran into issues with audio quality and battery life. I have an old webcam, and just ordered a tiny bluetooth microphone that I'm hoping to either plant near or literally pin onto the prof if they're cool with it.

Not looking for anything fancy... ability to choose both video and audio device, record/pause, and save so that I can upload to YouTube and forward it to the class. (side question... best video format for this?).

Not really familiar with this kind of software... I recall one of my gaming buddies being a fan of OBS Studio, but unsure if that's just on-screen capture for gaming/streaming or if it can do webcam-only too - DL'ing right now to experiment. In the mean time, taking all suggestions!

Thanks, all!

Edit -

Took about 5 mins to get all the shit on my wishlist figured out in OBS (https://obsproject.com/), and if my dumb ass can figure it out that quick, that is some GOOD software!! Kinda wish I'd have tried first before asking, but was not expecting it to be that easy. I'll leave the thread up just incase its helpful for someone else later.
