Free online screen recorder — record your screen in the browser, no install, no upload
Record your screen, browser tab, or application window directly from your browser. No software to install, no account to create, no upload required. Your recording stays on your device until you choose to download it. Built using the browser's native screen capture API (getDisplayMedia) and MediaRecorder.
How it works
- Click Start Recording. Your browser will ask which screen, window, or tab to share.
- Select what you want to record. Optionally check "Include microphone audio" to add voice narration.
- Click Stop Recording when done.
- Preview your recording and download it as a WebM video file.
Key features
- No upload — your screen recording never leaves your device. Everything happens locally in your browser.
- Free and unlimited — no account, no time limits (beyond browser memory), no watermarks.
- Optional microphone — add voice narration to your recording by enabling the microphone checkbox.
- WebM format — downloads as WebM (VP9 codec), compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and most video players.
Use cases
- Bug reports — record your screen to show developers exactly what went wrong.
- Tutorials and demos — create quick product demos, how-to videos, or training materials.
- Presentations — record slides with voiceover for async sharing.
- Customer support — show users how to complete a task by recording your screen.
Browser compatibility
Screen recording works best on desktop Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Safari has limited support and may require enabling MediaRecorder in settings. Mobile browsers generally do not support screen capture. If your browser doesn't support it, you will see a compatibility notice.
When browser-based screen recording is the right choice
Desktop screen recorders (OBS, ScreenFlow, Camtasia) are powerful but require install, configuration, and often a paid license. Browser-based recorders are perfect when you need a quick recording with no setup — bug reports, async product demos, one-off training clips, quick how-to videos for a teammate. This tool launches the browser's native screen capture immediately with no install, no account, no watermark, and no upload.
What gets recorded
- Entire screen — your full display, useful for desktop tutorials.
- Specific application window — share one app while keeping other windows private.
- Single browser tab — perfect for recording a web app demo without other tabs visible.
- Optional microphone audio — add voice narration by enabling the microphone before recording.
Use cases
- Bug reports — show developers exactly what went wrong, with cursor movement and timing intact.
- Product demos — async product walkthroughs that beat a wall-of-text Slack message.
- Training videos — record a process once and share with new hires.
- Customer support — record a 30-second clip showing a user how to complete a task.
- Pitches and presentations — record a slide deck with voiceover for stakeholders in different time zones.
- Game clips — capture short browser-based gameplay moments.
Browser compatibility
Desktop Chrome, Edge, and Firefox support screen capture out of the box. Safari has limited and inconsistent support. Mobile browsers generally do not support screen capture at all due to OS-level restrictions. The tool detects unsupported browsers and shows a compatibility notice.
Recording quality and limits
The recording is stored in browser memory, so very long recordings (30+ minutes at high resolution) may use significant RAM. The output format is WebM (VP9 codec), which plays in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, VLC, most video editors, and uploads cleanly to YouTube, Loom, and Vimeo. If you need MP4, convert after download with any free converter.
