Best (and cheapest) way for SMEs to Motion Capture

Howdy!
I am an ID for a corporation that is getting more demand for instructional videos that record procedures for learners to view (not interact). I recently got handed one that was MASSIVE - over 160 click functions for a single video, not including fx. Bottom line, it took far longer to train me on their system to record the procedure than it would have for me to train them on how to record!
So here's my question!
Short of having my SMEs buy a copy of something like Camtasia or get a 360 subscription (ain't gonna happen), is there a good program to record HQ video that SMEs could use and then send to me for editing?
I appreciate any and all suggestions! THANK YOU!!

I'm thinking maybe create a zoom or teams meeting with just them, start recording the meeting, share their screen, then have at it! I think that would work. Granted, there is no pause/play option, but this is a start to look at as an option.
Thanks Dwayne. I did do some recording from RingCentral. Wasn't great, but what I would REALLY like is either Snaggit to be able to render a .trec file, for use on Camtasia or a Camtasia "lite."
But also, I have been able to use SL's record feature to convert to video. As long as your file isn't too massive, it works ok.
Have them try screenity (it's a plug-in for Chrome) and opensource. I think Vimeo uses it for their screen capturing, too. Not sure if there's a plug-in for other browsers.
Take a look at Filmic Pro to see if that has value for you.
