Screen Recorder records your screen or a browser tab — right in the browser, with nothing to install. Press Start Recording, pick the screen, window or tab you want to share, and it records with optional microphone audio so you can narrate. When you stop, you get a preview and a WebM video download. This page is honest: screen recording needs Chrome or Edge and your permission to share the screen — the browser asks every time, and nothing is recorded until you choose what to share. Your recording never uploads anywhere; it stays on your device.
How to use Screen Recorder
- Tick “Include microphone” if you want to narrate while recording.
- Press “Start Recording” and choose the screen, window or tab in the browser's share dialog.
- Do your recording — a timer shows how long you have been recording.
- Press “Stop Recording” (or stop sharing in the browser bar) to get a preview and download the WebM video.
Worked example
Example: record a tutorial of this very website. Tick the microphone, press Start Recording, choose the browser tab, talk through the steps for two minutes, press Stop — you get a WebM video of the tab with your voice, ready to upload to YouTube.
Tips for better results
- Record one window or tab, not the whole screen, for a cleaner video.
- Close notifications before recording so they do not pop up in the video.
- Use the microphone option for tutorials — narration makes the video far more useful.
- WebM plays in Chrome and Edge; convert it to MP4 with any free converter if you need MP4.
Frequently asked questions about Screen Recorder
Is the screen recorder free?
Yes, completely free — no install, no sign-up, no API key needed.
Which browsers work?
Chrome and Edge. Screen recording needs the browser's screen-share feature, which Firefox and Safari support only partly. This page says so honestly and will tell you if your browser cannot do it.
Is my recording uploaded anywhere?
No. The recording is made and stored in your browser on your device. It only leaves your device if you upload it yourself.
Can I record with sound?
Yes — tick “Include microphone” to record your voice. System audio depends on the browser and what you choose to share; Chrome on Windows can share tab audio.
What format is the download?
WebM video. It plays in Chrome and Edge, and any free converter can turn it into MP4.
Why does the browser ask permission every time?
For your safety: no website can record your screen without you choosing what to share, every single time. That is a browser rule, and this site respects it.
Can I record a full movie or a long call?
You can record as long as your device memory allows — the recording is kept in memory, so very long recordings need a lot of RAM. Short recordings work best.
