Online Screen Recorder

How to record your screen

1. Choose whether to include your microphone and system or tab audio.
2. Press Start recording. Your browser asks what to share: the entire screen, a window or a browser tab. Choose one and press Share.
3. Do whatever you want to record. Press Stop here — or the browser’s “Stop sharing” button — when you are done.
4. Watch the recording and press Download video.

Good to know

• Desktop only. Screen capture is supported in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Mobile browsers do not allow web pages to record the screen — use your phone’s built-in screen recorder instead.
• System audio: Chrome and Edge can capture audio from a tab (and the whole system on Windows and ChromeOS). Tick “Share audio” in the browser’s share dialog. macOS does not allow web pages to capture system audio.
• File format: most browsers save WebM video; some versions of Chrome and Safari can save MP4. WebM plays in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and VLC, and uploads directly to YouTube.
• No time limit or watermark, but long recordings use memory; for recordings over an hour, consider a desktop app.

Tips for great screen recordings

• Close unrelated tabs and turn on “Do not disturb” so notifications don’t appear.
• Record a single window or tab instead of the whole screen to avoid revealing private information.
• Increase your browser zoom so text is easy to read in the video.
• Use a headset microphone for clearer narration.
• Keep tutorials short — split long processes into several recordings.
