Personally, I use a bit of an ecclectic mix depending on the class. Online classes can be nicely informal in some ways. (I used to teach for an Australian metro uni, but have been teaching mixed on-campus / online classes at a smaller regional uni for 5+ years)
Hmm, maybe to explain how informal, I should post links to some bits of my units that can be seen outside the uni:
On the low-end, this has the first couple of weeks of my Scala unit, taught to a small on-campus and larger online cohort. (Minus quizzes and assessment).

So far, so traditional (but you'll already spot a mix of desktop recordings and in-class recordings).
This is some stuff I've been putting together as "outreach" that goes alongside another of our courses (try in Chrome, slow in Firefox):

Though that's partly just me doing a "redux" on interactive smart materials from my PhD many years ago
For more "social" courses (HCI, Software Development Studio), I have an open source (but badly documented) system I built for students to submit videos to each other for critique. 2016 paper describing it here: http://2016conference.ascilite.org/wp-content/uploads/ascilite2016_billingsley_concise.pdf http://2016conference.ascilite.org/wp-content/uploads/ascili...
I also use Slack extensively in some units.
Desktop recording usually via OBS, though I used to just use Quicktime when recording on my Macbook Pro. On the "what do you desktop-record with?" side, I tend to use an AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser microphone via a Scarlett 2i2 into the computer. That way it rarely needs any post-production as it's fairly clear in the raw recording.
The main thing is to remember that although they like you to be somewhat watchable, they're usually more led by what you want them to do. Assessments, tutorials, etc. It's not watched end-to-end like Netflix shows. So be personable, but don't feel you need to panic too much about high production values.
Pardon that being a quick and rough post - there's lots of good comments on here already.
