How to record your screen in the browser

Screen Recorder captures a screen, window or browser tab using your browser's own screen-sharing picker. Add system or tab audio and a microphone if you wish, then stop, preview the clip and download it. The recording is held in this tab's memory and is never uploaded. It needs a desktop browser with screen capture and no account.

What you can do

  • Record a whole screen, a window or a browser tab using the browser's own picker, with an optional 3-second countdown.
  • Include system or tab audio where offered and an optional microphone, then pause, resume and stop with elapsed time and size shown.
  • Preview the clip and download MP4 (H.264) where supported or WebM (VP9 or VP8 with Opus).

How to use this app

  1. Choose your options, including the microphone and the countdown, then start recording and pick a screen, window or tab in the browser's picker.
  2. Pause, resume or stop while the elapsed time and size are shown. System audio depends on your browser and the source you choose.
  3. Preview the clip, choose a format (MP4 where supported, otherwise WebM) and download it before you close the tab.

Limits and privacy

  • A desktop browser with screen capture is needed; most phones lack it. The recorder warns above 1 GB and stops at 2 GB or 2 hours.
  • The recording lives in tab memory and is lost if the tab closes before you download it. There is no editing, trimming or conversion.

Common questions

Which formats can I download?

MP4 (H.264) where your browser supports it, otherwise WebM with VP9 or VP8 video and Opus audio.

Is my recording uploaded?

No. The video is created and held in this tab and only leaves it when you download the file.

Is Screen Recorder free, and do I need an account?

Yes, it is free. Screen Recorder runs in your browser with no account or payment details, and it never uses OnePassApps credits.
