Record Desktop Silently
A stealth desktop recording solution combining ffmpeg, batch scripting, and VBScript to capture Windows sessions without visible indicators, featuring configurable frame rates and recording durations.
Place these 3 files in any directory and run update.vbs to begin recording a Windows session silently.
Github Repository
update.exe
- This file is just ffmpeg that’s been renamed to be slightly more inconspicuous in Task Manager.
update.bat
- There are two lines to this batch file. The first line deletes “output.mp4” if it already exists in the same directory.
- The framerate in frames per second of the recording is set here following the “-framerate” flag
- The amount of time in seconds to record is set here following the “-t” flag
- output.mp4 will be saved in the same directory after the specified amount of recording time is up.
update.vbs
- This Visual Basic script runs udpate.bat without a visible command prompt.
