mrscott Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I know this is a little off the wall but is anyone using Microsoft's "Expression Encoder 4"? This is a FREE Screen recorder and works well on my laptop. However, when I installed it on my Desktop, the MIC does is not recognized. What is odd is the Mic IS recognized and works Windows 10 Pro but not in the app. I have searched all of the web and cannot find a solution. Thanks all, P.S. I know there are other products but I'm keen on getting this to work. Guess it's the challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownTiger Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I though this platform relies on MS Silverlight. Silverlight is not supported by MS Edge or Chrome. I was not aware that you could even run Microsoft's "Expression Encoder 4" on Win10. Even IF you can, I would not recommend as most PPL may not be able to play these screencasts. Either way development stopped 4 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Scott, If you figure out the problem with your mic please let me know because I think I have a related problem that my mic works on my PC in Windows 10 with Voice Recorder but for some reason quit working on my laptop the other day with the same setup but also works in both situations with other apps. If you are looking for a great free screen recorder to get you back up and running, I am using OBS Studio and love it. https://obsproject.com/ I can get you up and running with settings for 1080p if you like, just let me know.

Chopsaw Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Well that was easy. Settings > Privacy > Microphone > Choose Apps that can use your Microphone > Turn on for applicable app. Not quit sure how that got turned off but it works now.

No issue with the post and several views it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrscott Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I guess I was not aware of that. Thank for enlightening me. If the Mic issue could be resolved on my WS I might continue to use it simply to help articulate my thoughts to the Forum. Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP Chop. I got OBS up and running but the videos will not playback. I've tried them in both MP4 and MOV formats and I get the same error.

Chopsaw Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Scott, I have also been getting that warning recently with the Windows 10 players. It may not be related to OBS so try to reboot your machine and if that does not work send me your Skype name and we can check your settings over. Also check to see if you can play with Windows Media Player as that usually works for me but ultimately you want your videos to play on whatever player your client wants to play it on.
