The video is assembled in this tab and never sent anywhere. Closing the page throws it away, so save it before you leave.
Press start, then choose what to share

Recording your screen usually means installing something, and the free ones stamp a logo across the result or stop after five minutes. This records the screen, the camera, or the screen with the camera tucked into the corner, mixes your microphone with the sound coming out of the tab, and hands you the file. It runs on the browser's own recording machinery, so there is nothing to install, no length limit, no watermark, and the video is never uploaded.

How to use Screen Recorder

  1. Choose what to record: a screen or window, the camera on its own, or both together with the camera as an inset.
  2. Decide on the sound. Microphone captures you; system sound captures whatever the shared tab or screen is playing. Both can be on at once and are mixed into a single track.
  3. Pick a frame rate. Thirty is right for almost everything; sixty is worth it for gameplay or fast motion and makes the file about twice the size.
  4. Press start. The browser asks which screen, window or tab to share — this is its own dialog, and it is where the "share tab audio" tick box lives.
  5. A three-second countdown runs, then recording begins. The timer and the red dot at the top left of the preview tell you it is going. Pause and resume as often as you like.
  6. Press stop, watch the result back in the player, then save it. Recording another one starts from a clean slate.

Tips & gotchas

  • The "share tab audio" box in the browser's dialog is the single most common thing people miss. Without it the recording is silent no matter what you set on this page.
  • Sharing a single tab rather than the whole screen keeps your notifications, your other windows and your desktop out of the video.
  • Ending the share from the browser's own floating bar stops the recording properly rather than leaving it running against a black frame.
  • The recording is written in chunks as it goes, so a crash costs you the last second rather than the whole take.
  • Nothing is saved automatically. Closing the tab throws the video away, so download it before you navigate anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a time limit or a watermark?

Neither. There is no upload step to charge for and no branding to add, so the only real limit is disk space and the memory the tab has to hold the recording in. Long sessions are fine; a recording measured in hours is where you would start to feel it.

Why is my recording silent?

Almost always because the system-audio tick box in the browser's share dialog was left off. That dialog belongs to the browser rather than to this page, so the toggle here cannot force it. Chrome offers it when you share a tab and, on Windows, when you share the whole screen; on macOS the whole-screen option does not include system sound at all. If you only wanted your voice, check the microphone permission instead.

What format is the file?

WebM in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, which is what those browsers record natively and what every video editor and upload form now accepts. Safari records MP4 instead, and the page picks whichever the browser actually supports rather than asking for one it does not. Converting WebM to MP4 afterwards is a re-encode and is best done in a video tool.

Does the camera inset get baked into the video?

Yes. A video file can only carry one picture, so the screen and the camera are drawn together onto a canvas while you record and that composite is what gets saved. You cannot separate them afterwards, which is the trade for not needing an editor.

Can I record on an iPhone or iPad?

No. Screen capture from a web page is not available in Safari on iOS, and the page says so rather than presenting a button that does nothing. iOS has a built-in screen recorder in Control Centre, which is the right tool there. On a desktop, Chrome, Edge and Firefox all work.
