Record your screen

Record a tutorial, a bug or a presentation straight from your browser. You choose what to share, there is no watermark, and the video is never uploaded.

How to record your screen

STEP 1

Press Start recording

Your browser asks what to share: the whole screen, one window or one tab.

STEP 2

Do what you want to show

A timer and the file size so far are shown. Press Stop and save, or use the browser's own Stop sharing button.

STEP 3

Play it back and save

Check the recording, then save it. It is an MP4 where your browser can make one, and a WebM otherwise.

What to know before you record

A screen recording can easily include things you did not mean to show, such as notifications, tabs and other windows. Sharing a single window or tab instead of the whole screen is safer, and it is the main reason to record in a browser that asks every time.

Sound depends on your browser and on what you share. Chrome and Edge can include the sound of a shared tab, and the microphone option adds your voice on top. Where the browser does not offer system sound, only the microphone is recorded.

The video is held in memory until you save it, so a very long recording needs a lot of free memory. If you need an hour, record it in parts. A phone or tablet cannot record its screen from a web page, so this needs a computer.

Questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. The work happens inside this tab, on your own machine. Open your browser's network tab while you use the tool, there is no request carrying your file.

Is there a file size limit?

None set by us. Very large files are limited only by your device's memory, and we warn you before that becomes a problem.

Do I need an account?

No, and there is no daily limit either. There is nothing to sign up for.

Is there a watermark or a time limit?

No watermark and no limit from us. The practical limit is your device's memory.

Does it record sound?

It can record your microphone, and the sound of a shared tab in browsers that allow it.

Why did I get a WebM file?

Some browsers can only record WebM. It plays in Chrome, Edge and Firefox and in most video players. Safari and recent Chrome save MP4 instead.

Can I record on my phone?

No. Phones do not let a web page capture the screen.
