Screen recorder

How it works

Screen recording is normally a reason to install something. Browsers can do it natively, which means a bug report, a demo or a walkthrough can be captured from a tab — and the recording never has to touch anyone's server.

Choosing what to record

Your browser presents the picker: an entire screen, a single application window, or one browser tab. Tab sharing is the tidiest for web demos because notifications and other windows cannot appear in the recording. The browser also offers to include audio, which for a tab means the tab's own sound.

Recording your voice as well

This captures the source you pick and whatever audio the browser offers with it. Narrating over the recording needs the browser to include system or microphone audio, which not every browser and platform supports. If you need reliable narration, record the screen here and your voice with the voice recorder, then combine them — though the audio tools on this site join rather than overlay, so a dedicated editor is better for that.

Browser support is uneven

Chrome, Edge and Firefox support screen capture properly on desktop. Safari's support is partial and mobile browsers generally do not offer it at all, because phones handle screen recording at the operating system level instead.

Where the recording goes

Into memory, in this tab. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. Download it before you close the page. Stopping the share from the browser's own bar ends the recording cleanly.
