About this tool

Sometimes you need a quick recording — a bug report, a tutorial, a walkthrough for a client — and installing recording software for it is overkill. This recorder uses the capture built into modern browsers (the same getDisplayMedia and MediaRecorder technology video-call tools use). Screen mode records exactly the tab, window or screen you pick, with your microphone if you want narration. Webcam mode records the camera on its own. Screen + webcam composites the two live, drawing your camera as a picture-in-picture in the corner. When you stop, the video plays back right there and downloads as a WebM file — the whole thing happens on your device, so recordings of private screens are never uploaded anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Choose what to record — screen, webcam only, or screen + webcam picture-in-picture, and whether the microphone is on.
  2. Press Start and approve — your browser asks which screen or window to share; only that is recorded.
  3. Stop, preview, download — watch the recording back, then download it as a .webm video file.

What you get

Frequently asked questions

What format is the recording, and where does it play?
Recordings are WebM videos, which play in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and most modern browsers, and upload directly to YouTube and most platforms. If you need MP4 for a specific tool, any free video converter can convert the WebM.
Why did the browser ask which screen to share?
That picker is a security feature: the browser only ever shares the exact tab, window or screen you choose, and it shows a visible “sharing” indicator the whole time. This page cannot see or record anything else.
Can I record on my phone?
Webcam recording works on many phones, but most mobile browsers do not allow screen capture at all. For screen recording, use Chrome or Edge on a computer.
Is there a time limit?
There is no limit in the tool — the recording is held in your browser’s memory, so very long recordings on a low-memory device can run out of room. For long sessions, record in shorter parts.
