Yea can be a bit awkward when you first use it, when you have it open click on the screen capture button, then click advanced setting in the window that pops up and then just turn on your microphone/cam capture options which ever you want. And it does add music for some reason, just put the music option on silent machine if you dont want any. I would do a recording test before you start doing anything incase you end spending an hour only to have video with no sound. As that can be very anoying lol.
