Desktop Screen Recorder is a versatile Chrome extension designed for high-quality screen capturing. It offers three recording modes: entire screen with multi-monitor support, specific application windows, and individual browser tabs — allowing flexible capture tailored to your needs.

Key features include audio recording from system sounds, microphone, or both, video quality selection (HD to low), and no watermarks. The extension saves recordings directly to disk in efficient WebM format, providing crash recovery for long sessions. Additional tools like on-screen drawing during recording and global keyboard shortcuts enhance the user experience, making it ideal for presentations, tutorials, and content sharing.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Desktop Screen Recorder requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
