Pictures - the built-in snip tool
Video - Snip also does this.

you also have ‘steps recorder’ built in to the OS which creates, a HTML page that guides everything you record, similarly to a PDF.

Outside of that, if you want video capture where you can overlay audio, OBS is free.

if you have an MS 365 subscription you also have access to MS Stream which does screen capture

I usually use the built-in Windows snipping tool for both pictures and videos. If I want to add audio, I normally just use Google Meet and record it.

I’m definitely going to watch this thread to see what other people suggest.

You can use VLC to do this. I did a test once, when trying to do audio only, to discover you can capture the screen as well.

Camtasia isn’t free but it has a lot more features than the freebies.

Greenshot is great for stills, I never had a reason to capture video so I can’t comment on that.

The occasional one I use the in-built snipping-tool or whatever it is named now (can’t recall)
The in-built recorder of MS was okish for some stuff but haven’t used it a lot.
If I have to edit the picture it depends - mostly greenshot - sometimes paint (the old one).
If I do step by step documentation I use greeshot, since I can just send it to my document directly or add the step numbers in the editor and then send it to the document.
