What is Screen Record Timer?

Screen Record Timer feature is designed to automatically start the recording schedule of the video and audio. It records according to the length or the specific time you've set.

With so many great streaming videos and audio online, you don't have time for each one of them. If there is an interesting live stream or an internet radio program that you don't have time for, you will need a Screen Recorder with Timer to help you record them for later viewing or listening.

This post will introduce a screen & video recorder with a timer, which allows you to schedule video or radio recording for the streaming video or audio that you like. You can use it to schedule and record live video from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, Facebook Live, YouTube, and streaming audio from internet radio stations, and more on PC and Mac.

Screen Recorder with Timer

The schedule video recording software introduced here is FonePaw Screen Recorder (opens new window). It can record live streaming videos and any other screen activities on Windows and Mac with a timer, providing two modes for scheduled video recording. You can either set the video length to let the video recording end automatically or schedule a recording task for the recorder to automatically start and end the recording.

The videos can be recorded with audio and saved as MP4, F4V, WMV, MOV, TS, AVI, GIF.
