'Hide main window during recording' setting

Hiding the Bandicam main window during recording is one of the four methods to hide the recording controls and create a more focused video. This can be done by following these steps:

• Go to the [Video] tab in Bandicam.
• Click on 'Settings'.
• Click on 'Options' and check the "Hide main window during recording" option.

The Bandicam main window will then automatically minimise to a taskbar icon when the recording starts. If you use this option together with the "Show countdown timer before recording begins" option, the Bandicam window will minimise and the recording will start after the set amount of seconds.

Note that this method will not prevent the recording of the Bandicam detailed settings window, tooltips, etc. If you want to hide all Bandicam windows from the recording, you should use Method 1: Exclude Bandicam Windows from Recording.
