How to Record Your Screen in the Browser Without Installing Software
Open the Screen Recorder
Navigate to the tool. No download, no extension, no account.
Choose what to record
Click record and pick a full screen, application window, or a single browser tab. Optionally enable your microphone.
Record your session
A small indicator shows recording is active. Stop sharing or click stop when you are done.
Preview and download
Play back the recording, then download it as a WebM video file.
Pro Tips
- •Pick browser tab instead of entire screen when demoing a web app — it hides other windows and notifications.
- •Enable the microphone for narration. Speak slightly closer than normal to overcome browser input gain.
- •On Chrome, tick the share audio option in the picker to include the system audio playing in the tab.
- •WebM plays in all modern browsers. Convert to MP4 with our Video Compressor for broader compatibility.
- •For sessions over 20 minutes, restart the browser tab beforehand to free up memory.

When to Use Screen Recorder
Bug reports
Show developers exactly what is happening on your screen — far clearer than a written description.
Software tutorials
Record walkthroughs of how to use an app, then share with teammates or post on YouTube.
Async work updates
Send a recorded screen demo instead of scheduling a meeting. Recipients watch on their own time.
Presentation capture
Record your own slides plus voiceover for an on-demand version of any presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I record audio along with my screen?
Yes. You can include your microphone, the system audio playing on your computer, or both. Audio sources are selected when you grant the recording permission.
What video format does it output?
WebM with VP8 or VP9 video and Opus audio — the browser MediaRecorder default. Plays in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and modern mobile browsers.
Is there a time limit?
No imposed limit. In practice, long recordings are constrained by your device memory, since the video is held in RAM until you download it.
Does it work on iPhone or iPad?
Safari on iOS has limited support for screen recording through this API. iOS has a built-in screen recorder in Control Center, which is a better option for mobile.
Are my recordings stored anywhere online?
No. Recording happens locally and saves straight to your downloads folder. Nothing is uploaded.
Screen Recorder vs Alternatives
Screen recording tools range from quick browser captures to full production software. Here is how the popular options compare.
Loom
Cloud-based screen recorder
Key difference: Requires an account and uploads your recording to Loom servers. Free tier limits videos to 5 minutes.
OBS Studio
Free open-source streaming and recording software
Key difference: Extremely powerful but requires installation and configuration. Overkill for quick captures.
Built-in OS recorders
macOS Screenshot Toolbar, Windows Game Bar
Key difference: Work well on their own platform but are not cross-platform. No browser-tab-only mode for privacy.
Record your screen instantly with nothing to install. No account, no cloud upload, no time cap. Recording stays on your device unless you choose to share it.
Good to know
- All processing happens in your browser. Very large files may be slower on mobile devices or older computers.
- Results depend on the quality and format of your input. For best results, use high-quality source files.
- Once you close the browser tab, all data is gone. Make sure to download your results before closing.
