Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I record my screen online for free?
- Click "Start Recording" and your browser will ask which screen, window, or tab to capture. After granting permission, the recording starts immediately. When you're done, click Stop Recording and a video preview appears. Click Download WebM to save the file to your device. No software installation is required.
- Does screen recording work in all browsers?
- Screen recording uses the browser's built-in Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia). It is supported in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on desktop. Safari on Mac has partial support (tab-only). iOS Safari and most mobile browsers do not support screen recording.
- Can I record microphone audio with my screen?
- Yes. Enable the "Microphone audio" toggle before starting. Your browser will request microphone permission separately. The microphone audio is mixed with the screen recording so the output file contains both video and your voice.
- Can I record system audio (computer sounds)?
- System audio capture is supported in Chrome on Windows and ChromeOS when the user selects "Share audio" in the browser's screen share dialog. Enable the "System audio" toggle, then check the "Share tab audio" or "Share system audio" option in the browser prompt. Firefox and Safari do not support system audio capture.
- What video format is the recording saved in?
- Recordings are saved as WebM (VP9 codec when available, falling back to VP8). WebM is an open, royalty-free format supported by all modern browsers. For MP4 conversion, you can use a free converter tool after downloading the WebM file.
- Is my recording uploaded to a server?
- No. The entire recording process happens locally in your browser using the MediaRecorder API. Video data is stored temporarily in browser memory and never sent to any server. When you click Download, the file is saved directly from your browser to your device.
