Follow the simple steps listed below to figure out if you agree with us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n To start using the Vmaker app you have to first download the application or sign up for the Chrome extension<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n In this part, we will list down the steps of how you can download the app for Windows or macOS<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Congrats! You\u2019re through the first step of recording a livestream video on Facebook using Vmaker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Follow the instructions below to get started with recording your video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n After you open the app, you will see an interface open like above<\/p>\r\n\r\n If you only want to record the livestream, then go for the Screen mode of recording. <\/p>\r\n\r\n If you want to do a narration along with the livestream, or you want to record a reaction video to the livestream, then Screen + Webcam will be a better option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n If you record in this mode, then please ensure that the Webcam and microphone access has been enabled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The recording types help you decide what gets recorded during the screen recording session. <\/p>\r\n\r\n In the full screen mode, all the windows that are open while recording will get recorded. For example, while recording if you switch windows and check your Gmail account, then that too will get recorded. <\/p>\r\n\r\n If you don\u2019t want that, then open the Facebook Livestream in a separate window, and choose the Record a Window option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n With custom size, you can decide the region that has to be recorded, and Vmaker will only record that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n Choose the livestream video that you want to record.

It\u2019s better to be sure as livestream videos can go on for long.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n To stop the recording, you can tap on the timer at the top bar of the window, or you can press the record button again that keeps floating on the left-hand side of the screen while you\u2019re recording.<\/p>\r\n\r\n After you stop the recording, you can choose our AI video editing tool to auto-edit<\/a> your recordings. <\/p>\r\n\r\n Vmaker AI is an AI video editor, the first of its kind, that transforms your raw videos into stunning creations in just one click. <\/p>\r\n\r\n It intelligently adds B-rolls, background music, intro animations with titles, outros, subtitles with text animations<\/a>, stickers, and more, making your videos ready for publishing. The final video can be further refined using the full-blown video editor included in Vmaker AI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The whole editing suite of Vmaker AI<\/a> includes video cutter<\/a>, video resizer<\/a>, video merger<\/a>, add text to video<\/a>, add video to video<\/a>, filters, color correction, video cropper<\/a>, noise removal, video speed changer<\/a>, and audio enhancer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n So that was all about recording, editing and downloading a Facebook livestream video. <\/p>\r\n\r\n Wasn\u2019t that simple?
