How do I make a video of gameplay?
i have windows 8 btw
To make video’s of the gameplay you need a screencapture program
I personally use Fraps. These programs record the video and audio of everything your doing. You might want a video editing program to make some post production (e.g. when you do a jumping puzzle and you fall down halfway, you can cut that part out).
To make birds eye view in the game you need a third party software that alters game mechanics. Although your intentions are ok, the program can be used to create an unfair advantage and therefor it is unwise to use such program. So it can get you banned. See here the statement bout this from the support liason: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Is-the-Zoomunlocker-Program-Safe-or-Not/first#post2035577
