How to record your screen online
Quick answer: To record your screen online, pick what goes in the video, choose your sound, press Start recording, pause, resume, stop and watch it back and download.
- Pick what goes in the video. Screen, plus your webcam in a corner if you want it. Choose the corner, shape and size; the little preview shows where it lands.
- Choose your sound. Leave the mic on to talk over it. For the sound of a video or game, share a browser tab and tick “Share tab audio”.
- Press Start recording. Your browser asks what to share: the entire screen, one window or a tab. Pick one and the 3-2-1 countdown starts.
- Pause, resume, stop. Pause whenever you need a breather. Stop here, or with the browser's own “Stop sharing” button.
- Watch it back and download. The recording plays right on the page. Download it as MP4 (Chrome, Edge, Safari) or WebM.
Why record in the browser?
Because you don't have to install anything or hand your screen to some app's cloud. The browser already knows how to capture a screen and encode video, so this page just asks it to. The file is built in your computer's memory and saved straight to your downloads folder. That also means it's fast: no upload, no waiting for a server to process it.
Getting computer sound into the recording
Browsers are careful with sound. Sharing a Chrome or Edge tab gives you a “Share tab audio” checkbox, and that's the most reliable way to capture a YouTube video, a call in a web app or a browser game. On Windows and ChromeOS you can also share system audio with the whole screen. macOS doesn't let browsers capture system sound from the entire screen, so share a tab instead, or rely on your mic.
Changing your voice in a screen recording
Open Voice changer under the microphone switch, pick a voice and press Test my voice to hear 3 seconds of it. Only your microphone changes; game, video and tab sound stay normal. You can switch voices during the recording from the bar under the preview. Faceless channels use Storytime narrator or Masked caller to stay anonymous, tutorials sound better with Clean & loud, and gaming clips use Villain, Robot or Stadium announcer.
Frequently asked questions
Is this screen recorder really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no time limit on the page and no watermark. The only limit is your computer's memory: an hour of 1080p is roughly 1–3 GB.
Are my recordings uploaded anywhere?
No. The video is recorded and saved by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our server, which you can check in your browser's network tab.
MP4 or WebM, which should I pick?
MP4 if your browser offers it (recent Chrome, Edge and Safari do), because it opens everywhere, including iMovie and PowerPoint. WebM is what Firefox records; it plays in browsers and VLC and uploads fine to YouTube.
Can I record my screen on a phone?
Not from a web page: phones don't allow it. Use the built-in recorder instead (iPhone: Control Centre → Screen Recording; Android: the Screen record quick-settings tile). This page can still record you with the phone's camera.
Why is there no sound from my computer?
Sound only comes along if you share a browser tab with “Share tab audio” ticked, or the whole screen with system audio on Windows or ChromeOS. Otherwise the recording only has your microphone.
Is the webcam bubble part of the video?
Yes. It's drawn into every frame, so it's in the downloaded file, no editing needed. You can hide it or move it to another corner while recording.
