User reviews

Users find Desktop Screen Recorder effective for basic screen recording tasks with smooth performance and helpful audio capture in some cases. However, multiple reviewers report significant audio and video recording inconsistencies, such as missing sound, black videos, or limited recording options. The add-on lacks advanced controls like pause functionality, bitrate adjustment, and webcam integration. Playback and sharing of recordings also present issues for some users. Overall, it is a simple, free tool with some functionality, but reliability and features are limited based on user feedback.

Works fine for basic screen recording needs.
Can record full audio from the tab similar to Google Meet.
Saves recordings in webm format, which some users prefer.
No lag or recording issues reported by some users.

Cons

Audio recording issues: inconsistent audio capture, sometimes no sound or only microphone sound.
Video recording issues: black screen, no visuals, or only camera recorded instead of screen.
Lack of advanced features: no pause function, no bitrate control, and missing webcam support.
Playback issues: videos saved but do not play properly in file explorer or sharing problems.
Confusing or inadequate permissions and settings for audio and microphone leading to poor user experience.

It's good. However, if it has "pause" functions, that will make it perfect.
