About the Screen Recorder
This free online screen recorder uses the browser's built-in Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia) to record your screen without any software installation. You can capture your entire display, a specific application window or a single browser tab.
Recordings are stored temporarily in browser memory and are never transmitted to any server. Once stopped, you can preview the recording and download it as a WebM file compatible with all modern video players and editors.
Common uses include creating software tutorials, recording video calls, capturing gameplay, or saving a presentation walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions
The default recording captures screen video only (system audio may be included depending on your OS and browser). Microphone audio is not captured to keep things simple and private.
Chrome 72+, Edge 79+, Firefox 66+, and Opera 60+ fully support getDisplayMedia. Safari has limited support (tab only). iOS Safari does not currently support screen capture.
Recording duration is limited only by your device's available memory. For very long recordings (over 30 minutes) we recommend a dedicated desktop application to avoid running out of browser memory.
WebM plays in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and VLC. To convert to MP4, use a free tool like HandBrake or CloudConvert after downloading.
