Screen Recorder

Record your screen, with optional microphone, and download it. Nothing is uploaded.

How Screen Recorder works

A screen recorder captures what is happening on your display so you can save it as a video, whether that is a bug you want to show a developer, a quick how-to for a colleague, a slice of a video call, or a walkthrough of an app. This one lives entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no desktop app cluttering your machine. You press record, pick what to share, and get a video file at the end.

To use it, choose whether to include your microphone, then start recording. Your browser asks which screen, window, or single tab you want to capture, and once you confirm, recording begins. When you are finished you stop it, either with the stop button or by ending the screen share from the browser's own control, and the video is ready to download.

It captures at up to 30 frames per second and saves in the WebM format, which is what browsers record natively, and it can mix in the audio from the shared screen as well as your microphone if you enabled it. If you need the result as an MP4 for an editor or an upload form, run the saved file through a WebM to MP4 converter afterward. Recording without the mic keeps things simple when you only want the on-screen action and its sound.

Use a browser recorder like this when you want something fast and private without downloading OBS or a paid capture app. A full desktop tool still wins if you need webcam overlays, scene switching, or to record the entire system across multiple monitors at once. For a single window, a tab, or one screen with narration, the browser handles it comfortably.

Common uses are filing a bug report that shows the glitch in motion, recording a short tutorial for a coworker, saving a portion of a presentation or webinar, and capturing a demo of your own app or website to share. It is also handy for grabbing a clip of something that only plays live, when there is no download button in sight.

Because it uses your browser's built-in recording, the video is created and held on your own device and is never uploaded anywhere. There is no sign-up and no account, and you can start capturing within seconds of opening the page. Very long recordings build up in your device's memory as they capture, so the practical limit is how much free memory and storage your machine has for the session.

Frequently asked questions

Can it record system sound and my microphone together?

Yes. When you share a screen or tab your browser can include that source's audio, and if you tick the microphone option your voice is mixed in as well. That lets you narrate over whatever is playing on screen.

What video format do I get, and can I make it an MP4?

Recordings save as WebM, the format browsers capture natively. If you need an MP4 for an editor or an upload that rejects WebM, run the file through a WebM to MP4 converter afterward, which also runs in the browser.

Why can't I record a specific window on some systems?

The choices your browser offers depend on your operating system and its screen-sharing permissions. On some setups, and especially in Safari, window or tab capture may be limited, so you may only be able to share a full screen.

Does recording stop on its own if I forget?

It keeps recording until you stop it, either with the stop button or by clicking the browser's own stop-sharing control, which the tool detects and ends the recording. There is no hidden time limit, but long sessions use more memory.

Will it capture my webcam too?

No, this records the screen and audio only. If you want your face in the corner, use a dedicated desktop tool that supports camera overlays, or record the webcam separately and combine the two in an editor.

Is the recording uploaded or stored online?

No. The video is captured and kept entirely on your device using your browser's built-in recorder, and nothing is sent to a server. You download the finished file yourself, and it exists nowhere else unless you share it.
