Why teams switch from Bandicam
You need cross-platform support
Bandicam is Windows-first; their Mac product is a separate purchase. vyds works on macOS, Windows, and Chrome with the same account and a single billing line.
You want sharing built in
Bandicam saves files to your local disk. You upload to YouTube or send a file manually. With vyds, a share link is generated the moment you hit stop.
Async team workflow
Bandicam is a solo recording tool aimed at gamers and individual screencasters. vyds Pro adds team workspaces, viewer analytics, and shared libraries.
Try free, no watermark
Bandicam Free puts a watermark on recordings and limits clips to 10 minutes. vyds Free has no watermark and unlimited clip count (5-min per clip).
