Do you want to record yourself playing WoW and share your gaming experience on social media? The following article introduces excellent game recording software and shows how to record World of Warcraft gameplay on a PC. Just keep reading.

There are a lot of gameplay recorders on the market. Instead of free online recording tools or Windows built-in Xbox Game Bar, I recommend you use the simple HD screen recorder – WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro. Besides being a powerful video converter, this software allows you to capture everything on the screen, such as gameplay, live stream, video chat, video conference, etc. It can also record audio from your computer and microphone at the same time. Various output video formats and frame rates are available, so you can easily record WoW gameplay at 60 FPS and export the recordings as high-quality MP4 files.

It can also further convert, edit, and compress the recorded videos after finishing recording.
