Screen recording with open source software

Just discovered Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) which is an excellent free and open source tool for screen recording to a local file or for full featured streaming to Twitch, YouTube, YouTube Gaming, and others to include a custom defined server.

The Sources feature is extremely powerful for capturing individual applications, desktops (even in multi-display environments), and web cameras.  You can easily move the sources up and down in the hierarchy to display one source on top of another.  Here's an example of using OBS to record from my web camera while simultaneously recording from my desktop.
