General question: What Creative Cloud software do I need to use for screencasting?

Hi y'all. Total novice question here. I need to make a couple of simple short videos to visually record "how to" computer procedures with narration/explanation for internal use in my business. I have absolutely no idea exactly what software I need to get started. I've been steered towards Camtasia but since I already have a Creative Cloud subscription I'm hoping to start there if it makes sense. I'm very familiar with InDesign and Photoshop but have not strayed from those lanes in years. Would greatly appreciate some informed guidance on where to begin, pros/cons etc. Merci buckets!

Camtasia and OBS are the two main ones, I've got both. Tend to use OBS more, but many around here prefer Camtasia. Matter of preferences I suppose.

Thanks so much for your suggestions. Will have a look at OBS, had not heard of it before. Much appreciated!

Camtasia has a lot of good effects for the editing process. OBS is better setup for live streaming in my view.
