User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ease of use and usefulness for basic screen recording tasks. However, multiple reviews highlight serious problems including loss of recordings on crashes, corrupted or unplayable video files, inability to seek within recordings, and unclear saving options. Additionally, system audio capture is inconsistent, limiting recording quality. These issues have resulted in data loss frustrations despite the extension's otherwise helpful features.

Pros

Very user-friendly and simple to use.
Works well for basic screen recording purposes.
Allows recording with both microphone and system audio, though system audio recording may be inconsistent.
Helpful for content creators recording courses or tutorials.

Cons

Loses recorded videos if the PC crashes or restarts, with no recovery solution.
Saved video files can be corrupted or have playback issues, such as only audio with no video.
Users cannot seek forward or backward in the recorded videos after saving.
Confusing or unclear options after recording, especially around saving or discarding files.
Does not reliably capture system audio despite user settings.

Recent reviews

This is a great extension it works well for me - the only thing it needs is the option to select the source for your webcam and microphone for when you have a laptop camera and a higher quality web-cam plugged in. Apart from that it's simple and perfect.
