Q & A
[Q] What is a watermark?
[A] watermark is like a logo in the middle of the screen. Like when you record it says the name of the video recorder on the screen.

Reviews comming soon

Also the lag that you will have depends on what computer specs you have.

Thats it. If you have some questions you are free to ask :D
