Microphone is your default mic and Stereo Mix is the sound that your device is playing.

We will be using the “Open Capture Device” feature which is accessible from “Media > Open Capture Device”. The quality of the video depends upon the specifications or Megapixels, and other built-quality of the webcam that you have. This feature also allows you to specify advanced options like the ratio of the videos width and height, and the total size of the video. This is a really simple way to record video using the already present webcam in your machine.

Basically, you’re telling VLC to capture your webcam video and save it into a file.

This special feature will allow you to select your webcam as your capture device and then stream what is captured to a file. For recording videos from your Laptop or Desktop webcam using VLC Media Player, you will have to use the Capture Device feature present in VLC’s Media menu.
