Chris Ball (Boston MeetUp Organizer) Record speaker screen, allowing for passthrough to projector:

I've been using this: https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-technology/dp/B01DRWCOGA/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1490464366&sr=8-10&keywords=hdmi+passthrough

The software they provide isn't amazing but it gets the job done. This has support for a "webcam" which can supposedly be a camcorder if you work it right. I have not tried that yet.

Record video: Option 1) Record separately and mix with the slides after the fact (most video software has a feature that lines up sound in separate clips). This is what I'm doing currently using a really small video camera.

Option 2) Record direct to computer: https://www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-UltraStudio-Mini-Recorder/dp/B009D91314/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1490464414&sr=8-3&keywords=hdmi+blackmagic

I believe that you can turn a camcorder into a webcam with this box.

Option 3) A GoPro can also be used as a webcam, though you will lose the zoom capability.

Total costs should be $500 or less depending on what you have already.
