Tutorials, bug reports, lessons and demos are easier to understand when you show them. Your browser can record the screen without installing anything.
What you can record
- The whole screen, useful for demonstrations.
- A single window of an application.
- One browser tab, which keeps private notifications out of the video.
- System sound and, if you choose, your microphone for narration.
Steps
- Open the screen recorder.
- Press Start recording and choose what to share. Your browser asks for permission each time.
- Do what you want to show. Speak if you turned on the microphone.
- Press Stop and download the video.
There is no watermark and no time limit. The recording is saved on your device and is never uploaded.
Tips for a clear recording
- Close other tabs and apps so notifications and private messages do not appear.
- Use a tab or window instead of the full screen when you can.
- Zoom your browser in slightly so text is readable on a phone.
- Do a 10-second test first to check that the sound works.
- Move the mouse slowly and pause before clicking so viewers can follow.
After recording
Large recordings can be heavy. Use compress video to make the file smaller for email or messaging, trim video to cut the start and end, or video to GIF for a short looping clip.
Where it works
Screen recording from a browser works on desktop computers. Phones can use their built-in screen recorder instead.
