Record a tab, window or screen
Your browser asks what to share: one tab, one application window or the whole screen. Recording runs in the background while you work in the thing you are recording, and stops when you select Stop or the browser's own Stop sharing control.
Sound from the tab and your microphone
Record the audio of a tab or the system where the browser offers it, add your microphone for narration, or do both; the two are mixed into one soundtrack. Choose Standard, High or Maximum video quality.
Download it or trim it
Play the recording back, then download it as MP4 (or WebM in browsers that cannot record MP4), with no watermark. One button opens the clip in Video Trimmer to cut the start and end.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record my screen online?
Select Start recording. Your browser shows a prompt where you pick a tab, a window or the entire screen and confirm. Do what you want to capture, then come back and select Stop, or use the browser's Stop sharing button. The recording appears on the page, ready to play, download or trim.
Is the recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is recorded and stored inside your browser, and the download is created on your device. Nothing is sent to our server while you record or when you download. Only if you choose to open the clip in Video Trimmer and then export from there is the video uploaded for processing.
Why is there no sound in my recording?
Sound is shared separately from the picture, and only some browsers offer it. In Chrome and Edge, the sharing prompt has a switch such as Also share tab audio or Share system audio that must be turned on; a single application window usually has no audio option, and system audio for a whole screen depends on your operating system. Firefox and Safari generally do not offer tab or system audio. When no audio is shared, the status line says so as soon as recording starts. Tick Record my microphone as well to capture your voice in any browser.
Which browsers and devices does it work on?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Browsers on phones and tablets do not let web pages capture the screen, so the tool tells you when recording is unavailable; use the device's built-in screen recorder there. On macOS, the browser needs Screen Recording permission under Privacy and Security in System Settings.
What format is the video, and will it play on my phone?
Browsers that can record MP4, which includes current Chrome, Edge and Safari, produce an H.264 MP4 that plays on phones, in chat apps and in video editors. Other browsers, such as Firefox, record WebM; the tool writes the clip's length into that file so players can seek through it. To turn a WebM recording into MP4, open it in Video Trimmer and export.
How long can I record, and how big are the files?
Up to 30 minutes or 1 GB per recording, whichever comes first; the recording stops by itself and keeps everything captured so far. Size depends on the quality setting and on how much the picture changes. Standard, High and Maximum allow up to about 19, 38 and 60 MB per minute, and a mostly still screen uses far less. The running size is shown while you record.
Can I pause, or switch tabs while recording?
Yes. Switching to another tab or application is the normal way to use it: recording continues in the background. Pause stops the clock and the capture until you select Resume, and the result is one continuous video. Keep this tab open until you have stopped and saved the recording; your browser asks before closing a page with an unsaved recording.
How do I cut the beginning or end off the recording?
Select Open in Video Trimmer after you stop. The recording opens there without downloading and re-uploading it yourself, and you can mark the start and end and export an MP4. Video Trimmer accepts files up to 100 MB, so for longer recordings use Standard quality or download the file instead.
