Setup & quality

Before you record

In the browser dialog, choose a different tab or window than this recorder page for the cleanest capture.

Use Chrome for best results

For screen recording, system audio, and chapter markers, Google Chrome and other Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera) work best. Firefox and Safari are supported with limitations — you will see a recommendation when you open the recorder in those browsers.

Quality & performance

1080p is sharpest. Use 720p for smaller files. Turn off Presenter bubble for the sharpest quality — screen-only skips canvas processing.

System audio

Capture tab or window sound when your browser supports it.

Presenter bubble

Turn on Presenter bubble to show yourself in a corner of the recording. Enable Camera to use your webcam feed, or leave it off for an avatar placeholder. Pick a corner position before you start.

Bubble style & shape

Before recording, choose how the presenter bubble looks: Minimal, Pro, or Brand styling, and Circle or Squircle shape. Your choices appear in the live preview and match the exported video.

Virtual webcam

Use Open virtual webcam to feed this camera into other apps without recording. Opens a live camera window you can select in Zoom, Meet, Teams, or OBS.

While recording

Switch screen and camera

When recording a screen or tab with Camera enabled, tap the switch button in the recording bar to cross-fade between your shared content and a full camera view — without stopping. Everything stays in one continuous WebM file. If screen sharing ends, the recording falls back to camera automatically.

Chapters

While recording, use Add chapter to drop timestamped markers you can jump to later during playback. Chapters are saved with the recording and appear in the library and viewer.

While recording

Your browser will also show its own sharing indicator — that's normal and keeps you in control.

Save & privacy

Stays on this device

Every recording is saved in this browser on this computer using IndexedDB. Nothing syncs to the cloud, and recordings from other devices or browsers will not appear here. If you clear site data or use private browsing, stored videos may be removed.

Download to keep

Use Download on any recording to save a WebM file to your computer. That is the best way to back up important videos, share them, or move them to another device. The in-app library is convenient, but downloads are yours to keep anywhere.

Privacy

No uploads. No account. No tracking.
