Screen Recorder - Record Your Screen in the Browser

How to use this tool

1. Click "Start Recording" and choose a screen, window, or tab in the browser picker.
2. If the share dialog offers an audio option, choose it to include audio from that display stream.
3. Recording starts immediately. A timer shows the elapsed time.
4. Click "Stop Recording" when finished.
5. Preview the recording, then click "Download" to save the WebM file.

Browser support for screen recording

The Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia) is supported in Chrome 72+, Edge 79+, Firefox 66+, and Safari 13+. On mobile, support is limited.

Recording options

• Entire screen – captures everything visible on your monitor.
• Application window – captures a single open application.
• Browser tab – captures only a specific tab's content.

Your screen recording never leaves your device

All recording happens in your browser's memory using the MediaRecorder API. No video data is sent to any server. The download is saved directly from memory to your device.

Output format

The MediaRecorder API outputs video in WebM format (using VP8 or VP9 video codec) in Chrome and Firefox. WebM is well-supported in modern browsers but may not play directly in all media players or older software. To convert a WebM file to the widely compatible MP4 format, you can use:

• FFmpeg (command line): ffmpeg -i input.webm -c:v libx264 output.mp4
• Online converters: sites like CloudConvert or Convertio support WebM to MP4 conversion in the browser.

Audio in the screen-share stream

This tool asks the browser for video and an audio track when you start sharing. The browser and operating system decide which audio sources are available for the screen, window, or tab you choose. If the share dialog offers an audio checkbox, such as tab audio or system audio, enable it to include that source. If no audio option is offered, the recording may be silent.

The recorder saves only audio supplied with the selected display stream. It has no microphone control, does not request a separate mic stream, and cannot mix one into the recording. For audio-only voice recording, visit the Voice Recorder.

Audio choices vary by browser, sharing target, and operating system. For example, a browser tab may offer tab audio while a window or full-screen share does not. Check the options shown in your own share dialog before recording; the tool cannot add an audio source that the browser does not provide.

Use cases

• Software tutorials: record step-by-step walkthroughs of a product or workflow for documentation or training.
• Bug reports: capture a short clip showing a UI issue in context - far more useful than a screenshot for communicating intermittent bugs.
• Gameplay recording: record browser-based games. Use full-screen or application-window mode to capture only the game.
• Meeting capture: record video calls for async review. Note that most meeting platforms have their own built-in recording; use this tool for platforms that do not.
