oCam Advanced Settings - Sound
oCam is user-friendly software that not only supports screen recording but also allows you to fine-tune sound recording settings, helping you achieve optimized recording for a wide range of audio input environments. In the settings window that appears when you click the "Tools - Options" menu, selecting the "Sound" category on the left lets you check and adjust microphone-related settings. This tab is especially useful for users who need to solve microphone input issues or apply specific audio settings. Below is a detailed explanation of the settings available under the "Sound" category.
Current Microphone Settings
The "Sound" category provides options related to the current microphone settings, and by default, these settings are configured appropriately for most users, so they can usually be used reliably without any changes. In a typical recording environment, both system sound and microphone audio are recorded properly, and the default settings are generally enough to capture high-quality audio. For example, when using microphone input for lecture videos or game streaming, the default settings are sufficient for most needs.
Resolving Microphone Audio Issues
However, in certain situations, especially when using a USB audio interface or advanced audio equipment, you may encounter an issue where microphone sound is played through only one speaker, either the left or the right. This usually happens when the audio input channel settings are not configured correctly. In the "Sound" category of oCam, simple setting adjustments are provided to resolve this issue.
If sound is coming from the left speaker only: Change the microphone input source to "Input 1 (Left Channel)" to fix the problem. This setting correctly adjusts the microphone audio signal when it is focused only on the left channel, allowing balanced output through both speakers.
If sound is coming from the right speaker only: Change the microphone input source to "Input 2 (Right Channel)." This setting adjusts the audio signal coming into the right channel so that it is evenly distributed through both speakers.
These setting changes are especially useful in environments that use USB audio interfaces or stereo input, and they are an essential feature for users who want to optimize audio quality.
Usage Tips
The settings in the "Sound" category are simple, but they are very effective for resolving issues in certain audio environments. For example, streamers or content creators using a USB microphone or audio interface can quickly fix audio channel issues through these settings. After changing the settings, it is a good idea to run a short test recording to make sure the microphone audio is being recorded evenly on both channels. It is also important to adjust the microphone input level properly so that the sound is not too loud or too quiet.
If you are in a normal environment without a USB audio interface, you can usually get stable recording results just by keeping the default settings. However, if you are using advanced audio equipment, adjusting these settings to balance the audio output can be very helpful in improving the overall quality of the video.

Please make sure to enter your recovery email address correctly.
Losing your password is a common issue that anyone can experience. To help with this, we provide a password recovery service so users can reset their password.
However, one of the most important parts of the recovery process is the recovery email address entered by the user. In some cases, users enter their recovery email address carelessly or enter an incorrect email address when setting up their account. Unfortunately, in such cases, the password recovery email cannot be sent to the correct address, which may make recovery impossible.
In addition, due to the security design of our program, if you do not know the password, not only recovery but also deleting the program itself or accessing related data is not possible.
This is a necessary security mechanism designed to prioritize the protection of user data and prevent unauthorized access. Therefore, before you forget your password, it is very important to verify as soon as possible that your recovery email address is correct.
It is not too late to check now. We recommend reviewing your settings using the steps below.
Go to Settings, click the Change Password button, and make sure your recovery email address is entered correctly.
Check whether the registered recovery email address is the exact email address you actually use.
If there is a typo or if an email address you no longer use is registered, please correct it immediately.
There have been cases where recovery became impossible because the recovery email address was entered incorrectly. For example, if there is a typo or a non-existent email address was entered, the recovery email cannot be sent, and we will have no way to assist you. To prevent this situation in advance, it is important to make a habit of carefully checking your recovery email address when setting up your account.
If you have already entered the wrong recovery email address and are unable to recover your password, we ask for your understanding that recovery is unfortunately difficult at this time.
To avoid this situation, it is very important to enter your recovery information accurately when setting up your account in the future.
