Lotus ScreenCam 3.0

Lotus ScreenCam is a classic Windows screen-recording utility built to create software demos and training tutorials. Instead of capturing full-motion video, it records user input and screen updates as events, producing compact files that play back smoothly on similar Windows configurations. Creators can add callouts and captions, highlight cursor actions, record microphone narration, and make basic edits such as trims or re-takes. Finished demos can be distributed with a small player or, in later versions, exported to AVI for broader compatibility.

Popular in the mid-1990s, Lotus ScreenCam is now considered legacy software. It was designed for Windows 3.x/95/NT-era systems, and its proprietary files typically require the ScreenCam player or compatible runtime. Because playback re-creates GUI events, the best visual fidelity occurs when the viewer’s fonts, colors, and resolution closely match the recording environment.

Highlights:

• Event-based capture for small file sizes and smooth playback
• Annotations with callouts and captions, plus optional pause/interaction points
• Microphone audio narration
• Simple timeline editing (trim, insert, re-record)
• Distribution via standalone player or AVI export (version dependent)

Typical uses:

• Step-by-step product walkthroughs
• Software training and onboarding
• Supplemental material for help desks and documentation
