Record your screen, a window or a tab with system audio, microphone and an optional webcam bubble.

How it works

Show a bug to a developer, record a walkthrough for a colleague or capture a slide presentation with your voice, without installing anything. This recorder uses the browser's own screen-sharing dialog (getDisplayMedia), so you choose exactly what is captured: the whole screen, a single window or one browser tab.

You can add the tab or system audio (Chrome and Edge), your microphone (mixed with the shared audio using the Web Audio API) and a round webcam bubble in a corner, drawn into the video on a canvas. Current Chrome, Edge and Safari record straight to MP4 (H.264), the format every player, phone and upload form accepts; browsers that can only record WebM (VP9 or VP8) get an MP4 copy made automatically with FFmpeg on your device, and the original WebM stays available too. There is no watermark and no time limit other than your device's memory, and the recording never leaves your computer: it is kept in this tab until you download it. Afterwards, "Transcribe this recording" turns the speech into text, subtitles, a Word or PDF transcript or a captioned video on the same page.

Screen recording from a web page needs a desktop browser. Chrome and Edge support every option; Firefox records the screen and microphone but not system audio; Safari support is limited. Phones and tablets generally cannot screen-record from a browser, so use the built-in recorder of iOS or Android there.

Turn the recording into a step-by-step guide

After you stop recording, "Create SOP from this recording" opens the SOP generator with the video, and with its transcript if you transcribed it here, without uploading anything. It takes a screenshot at each step (where the screen changes or where you say "next" or "then"), writes the steps from what you said, and downloads the guide as PDF or Word.

Tip: talk through the task while you record it ("First, open Settings. Then click Users…"). Clear spoken steps give clear written ones.

Summary, action items and decisions

When the transcript is finished, a summary panel appears under it: a short summary, key points, action items and decisions, each with the time it was said (click it to play from there). Everything in it can be edited, and it downloads as Word, PDF or text next to the transcript and subtitle files.

It is a basic on-device summary: sentences are ranked by how central they are and picked from the transcript, and action items and decisions are sentences with phrases such as "we need to", "I will", "we decided", "يجب", "سوف" or "تم الاتفاق". It does not rewrite or invent anything, and it can be wrong, so read it through. A search box finds the passages that answer a question, with their time; the answers are passages from the transcript, not generated text.

How to use it

  1. Choose the options: system or tab audio, microphone, webcam bubble and quality.
  2. Click Start recording and pick the screen, window or tab in the browser dialog. In Chrome, tick "Share tab audio" or "Share system audio" if you want the sound.
  3. Pause and resume as needed; the timer shows the recorded length. Click Stop, or use the browser's "Stop sharing" button.
  4. Preview the recording and download the MP4 (or the original WebM), then click "Transcribe this recording" if you need a transcript or captions.

Frequently asked questions

Is the recording uploaded to a server?

No. The video is recorded by your browser and stays in this tab's memory until you download it. Converting to MP4 also runs on your device with FFmpeg in WebAssembly.

Why is there no sound in my recording?

System audio has to be shared explicitly: in Chrome and Edge tick "Share tab audio" (for a tab) or "Share system audio" (for the entire screen on Windows and ChromeOS) in the sharing dialog. macOS only allows tab audio. Firefox and Safari cannot capture system audio, so use the microphone option instead.

Can I record my screen on an iPhone or Android phone?

Not from a web page: mobile browsers do not support screen capture. Use the built-in screen recorder instead (Control Centre on iPhone, Quick Settings on Android), then trim or compress the result with the tools here.

How long can I record?

There is no fixed limit, but the recording is held in memory until you download it. At the standard quality an hour is roughly 1 GB, so for long sessions download regularly or choose Standard quality.

Is the recording an MP4?

Yes. Chrome and Edge 126 or newer and Safari record MP4 (H.264) directly. Other browsers record WebM (VP8/VP9), which plays in browsers, VLC and most editors but not in QuickTime, some Windows apps or many upload forms, so the recorder makes an MP4 copy on your device right after you stop and offers both files.

Can I get a transcript or subtitles of my recording?

Yes. Click "Transcribe this recording" under the preview. Speech recognition (Whisper) runs in this tab, and you can download the text as Word, PDF or TXT, subtitles as SRT or VTT, or the recording as an MP4 with captions.

Why does the webcam bubble freeze when I switch tabs?

Browsers slow down hidden tabs. The bubble is drawn by this page, so keep the recorder tab visible (for example in a separate window) while recording with the webcam. Recordings without the bubble are not affected.
