Record your screen, a window or a browser tab
Capture a process instead of describing it, then download the video the moment you stop. Nothing to install, no account, no watermark.
How to record your screen in three steps
Choose what to share
Press Start and your browser opens its own sharing window. Pick your entire screen, a single window, or one browser tab.
Press Start
Recording begins as soon as you confirm. The timer shows how long you have been recording, and it stays correct even if you switch to another tab.
Stop and save
Press Stop and the recording appears in the player. Save it and the file lands in your downloads folder. The original screen was never sent anywhere.
What happens to your recording
It is recorded and saved on your device
Recording a screen usually means sending the footage to somebody else's computer. Here your browser captures the screen and writes the file itself, in the tab you are already looking at. See how your data stays inside the tab.
- Captured in the tab by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while you record, then dropped when you leave.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the recording completely.
- No account, so no recording is ever attached to an identity.
- Nothing is recorded about what you captured.
What people use it for
Filing a bug report that reproduces the problem
Record the broken screen once and attach the clip. Far more useful than describing the steps in words.
Showing a colleague a process instead of describing it
A short walkthrough of a dashboard or a setting is quicker to watch than to read.
Recording a walkthrough on a locked-down work machine
Nothing to install, so it works where you are not allowed to add software.
Capturing something that will not be there later
A live result, a one-off state, or a screen you only get to see once.
Formats & limits
When something goes wrong
If sharing is blocked, you close the sharing window, or another app is already using the screen, the page says so in plain words and leaves the Start button ready to try again. Nothing is recorded and no partial file is produced. If you stop sharing from the browser's own bar, the recording ends there and everything captured up to that point is kept.
Why not an upload site
An upload-based recorder is a form that posts your screen to someone else's machine. Take that step out and a lot of small annoyances disappear with it.

Questions
Does the recording get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser writes the recording straight to a file on your device. There is no upload step in this tool at all — no queue, no account, and nothing kept afterwards.
Does it work on a phone or a tablet?
No. Recording the screen needs a desktop or laptop browser — the capability this tool uses is not available on phones or tablets. The page says so up front rather than offering a button that cannot work. The Voice Recorder does work on a phone.
Which browsers can record the screen?
Chrome, Edge and Firefox. The page checks for the capability before it shows the Start button, so you are never offered a button that will fail when you press it.
What format is the video saved in?
A WebM video file. It plays in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and most video editors open it directly. If you need MP4, run the file through the Video Converter after downloading it.
Can I record my voice at the same time?
Yes — switch narration on before you start and your microphone is mixed into the recording. If no microphone is available, the video is saved with picture only and the page tells you so.
Can I record just one tab instead of everything on screen?
Yes. The browser's own sharing window lets you choose your entire screen, a single window, or one browser tab. That choice is made by your browser, not by this page.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. There is nothing to install, no extension to add and nothing to sign up for.
What happens if I close the tab while recording?
The recording is lost — a take cannot be recovered once the page is closed or refreshed. Save the file before you navigate away.
Is there a time limit?
A recording can run for up to 60 minutes. You are warned at 15, 30 and 45 minutes so the limit never arrives as a surprise. If you reach it, the recording stops there and everything captured up to that point is kept and ready to download.
