Free Windows screen recorder with webcam and no recording time limit
FlashBack Express is a free Windows screen recorder from Bsc Software with no time limit, no watermark, and webcam recording support. Its accompanying FlashBack Pro upgrade adds a full video editor, MP4 export, and annotations. The generous free tier — watermark-free, unlimited recording length — makes it one of the most capable free Windows screen recorders for personal and business use.
FlashBack Express is a strong fit if its core strengths match your workflow, budget, and support needs. Use the quick signals below before opening the full review.
FlashBack Express earns its spot by being honest about its free offering: no watermark, no time limit, no forced registration. For Windows users who want to record clean screen video without paying, without hitting a timer, and without a watermark appearing on every frame, FlashBack Express is one of very few tools that delivers all three simultaneously.
FlashBack Express's free licence records the full screen, a selected area, or a specific application — with webcam overlay, system audio, and microphone — at any duration without inserting a watermark. The only meaningful free-tier limitation is WMV-format export rather than MP4. For users whose recordings will be used internally or who convert to MP4 with VLC, this limitation is minor.
The Pro licence at $49 one-time unlocks MP4 export, the built-in video editor (trim, cuts, annotations, callouts, speed control), and higher resolution export options. The free-to-Pro pathway is clearly communicated — users can evaluate the recorder with real work before deciding whether the $49 investment for editing capabilities is justified.
FlashBack Express is not the most feature-rich Windows screen recorder — OBS, Camtasia, and Bandicam each offer more in their respective strengths. Its value is the free tier: truly free, clean, and unlimited for casual Windows recording. Users who need scene composition, game capture, professional editing, or async sharing should look elsewhere; users who need 'just record the screen cleanly for free on Windows' will find FlashBack Express reliably suitable.
Score: 6.8/10 — Best genuinely free Windows screen recorder with no watermark or time limit; WMV-only free export and Windows exclusivity are the main limitations.
