        Yes, you can use the custom region recording feature in My Screen Recorder to do exactly what you want.

        To make a Screen Recording of a Custom Region of the PC Screen, click File >> Record >> Recording Options >> Select Custom Region in Record screen dropdown.

        On selecting the Custom Region option, the mouse pointer changes to a crosshair. Drag the crosshair across the desired area on your desktop to select the region of the screen to record:
