About Action!
Action! records and streams the Windows desktop and games in real time in HD quality. It can capture web video, music and screenshots, add a webcam and microphone commentary, and remove a webcam background with its Greenscreen Mode. A built-in manager lets you browse, delete and export recordings to common formats and devices.
It is also used for game benchmarking. Version 4.48.1 was released in April 2026. It runs as a 30-day trial and is then unlocked with a lifetime license.
