If you can't see the green FPS number, please see the solutions below

1. Start Bandicam before the recording target

Bandicam can provide good FPS recognition when it is run "before the target program."

(It is recommended to run Bandicam "ahead of the target program" as much as possible.)

2. Use the latest version of Bandicam

5. Play a video in full screen

If the recording target is a video, you may have to play the video in full screen to see the green FPS number.
