I use Pinnacle Studio to create my YouTube videos. In some of them, I use Pinnacle's included screen recorder. One of the best features is when I click on the 'Record' button, it minimizes the app and shows a red box with a count down "3....2....1". This way you know to start whatever action you need to do on screen. The recording app has been minimized and isn't showing on screen.
Under your 'General' tab we can shutoff tray notifications which is great because I sure didn't need a Windows 10 notification to pop up each time I minimized Bandicam. But it would be great on full screen mode that when we clicked on the 'Rec' button that Bandicam and the window box would minimize automatically.
