How to Record MyFreeCams with CaptureGem

Record MyFreeCams in 5 steps

Free to start, and the same steps on Windows, macOS and Linux.

1. 1

   Step 1: Install CaptureGem

   CaptureGem is free to download and use, with no account needed. Download CaptureGem for Windows, macOS or Linux and open the desktop app.

   If you already have CaptureGem, update to the latest version.

2. 2

   Step 2: Find the model's username

   Example link

   https://www.myfreecams.com/#model_username

   Use the MyFreeCams username exactly as the site shows it. Typing it is the simplest option.

   • A link in the form above also works, because the username comes right after the #.
   • Other MyFreeCams links, including share.myfreecams.com profile links, aren't recognized yet. Type the username instead of pasting those.

   The names and numbers in these examples are placeholders; use the ones from the real page.

   Step 3: Add the stream

   Go to the Record tab, pick MyFreeCams under Select Website and type the username into Enter URL or Username in the Add Stream panel.

   Keep Monitor Only switched off so the stream is saved, then click Add Stream.

   Step 4: Check the recording status

   While the model is in a public show, the row switches to Recording within a few seconds. Otherwise the Status column explains why nothing is being saved:

   Private

   The model is in a private, group or club show.

   Offline

   The model is offline or away.

   Errored

   CaptureGem couldn't find the model or record the stream. "MyFreeCams lookup did not return a valid model" usually points to a misspelled username.

   Hover over a status for more detail, such as the reason behind an Errored status.

   Step 5: Find your recording

   When a recording finishes, CaptureGem converts it into a video file; long recordings can take a little while. Open the Review tab to play, trim, tag or delete it, or click Open Video Folder on the Record tab.

   Recordings are MP4 files by default. With Premium, each file runs up to 60 minutes by default and auto-record starts the next one straight away. You can change the save location, the file length (Cap Video Segments at Duration (Minutes)) and the container in Settings.
