What you can do

Screen recorder features

Screen, window or tab

Choose exactly what to share. Perfect for tutorials, bug reports, demos and recorded calls.

System sound and microphone

Record the sound from your computer, your own voice, or both at the same time.

Webcam bubble

Add a camera bubble so viewers can see you. Choose the corner, the size, a circle or rounded square, and whether to mirror it.

Gradient background and rounded corners

Place your screen on a soft gradient with space around it and rounded corners, so a plain recording looks ready to share.

Save straight to a file

In Chrome and Edge, the recording is written to a file on your disk as it happens, so long recordings do not fill up memory.

Pause, countdown and timer

Pause and resume without cutting, get a 3 or 5 second countdown, and watch the live timer.

Quality and frame rate

Ask for 1080p or 720p, and 15, 30 or 60 frames per second. Show or hide the mouse cursor.

Live captions

Turn on speech to text and your words become captions you can edit and burn into the video.

Good to know

  • Screen recording needs a desktop browser such as Chrome or Edge. Phones and tablets do not allow it.
  • On a Mac, browsers usually share the sound of one tab only, not the whole system.
  • Your recording lives in the tab until you download it, so save it before you close the page.
