obs is not popping up anywhere on my computer except the setup exe
and i'm locked out of my laptop so i can't mess with it right now

Camtasia works pretty great

I don't think the trial has a time limit on recordings

oh I thought you were asking about the videos
have you tried C:\Program Files (x86)\OBS (or something like that? whatever the default directory is unless you changed it)\OBS.exe

Add in a video source of your monitor or whatever you're trying to capture. Add in overlays/whatever else you want. You can preview to look and edit how it looks.

Also OP, it will create the file as a .flv, if you need to convert it to another format, use this.
