User reviews
Pros
- The extension was previously very easy and straightforward to use for screen recording.
- Used to work well with good user experience and functionality.
- Previously allowed recording a browser tab with webcam overlay easily.
- Was helpful for educators and students for independent recording.
- Integrated screen and webcam recording with simple controls in earlier versions.
Cons
- Recent updates have made the extension confusing and difficult to use.
- No longer allows direct recording of the desired screen or browser tab; recording redirects to Vimeo website.
- Recordings often result in black screens or partial captures instead of full screens.
- Microphone and camera recording functionality is broken or difficult to enable.
- The new workflow is cumbersome, requiring multiple steps and switching tabs, harming usability.
- Extension essentially acts as a mere link to Vimeo's website, rendering it almost useless as a Chrome addon.
- Support and communication from Vimeo regarding these changes is lacking.
- Update has led users to seek alternative screen recording tools due to degraded experience.

this thing is so un-user friendly. Why can't I just record the screen I"m looking at, with my face in the corner? That's all I want to do! I remember I used to be able to do that in Vimeo, maybe like years ago? Now, I have no idea how! It keeps forcing the screen back to vimeo, instead of the screen I want to record. It's just so confusing, I honestly hate it. Vimeo, please fix this!

Essa atualização ficou ruim, 0 praticidade, pois não é mais possível gravar a tela imediatamente; ter que acessar uma nova aba, compartilhar tela e aí sim, finalmente começar a gravação, é bem disfuncional. Acredito que os usuários, assim como eu, prezavam pela facilidade dessa extensão. A opção pra não perder nada, seria iniciar a gravação antes, e utilizar os pouquíssimos 30 minutos. Muito ruim. Não deveriam ter alterado o que já estava bom. Terei de usar outra ferramenta.

Used to be great, really easy to use, but now crippled to a max of 3 videos on the free plan, and the extension doen't even work anymore. It launches into the Vimeo site with a black video box, starts recording on the Vimeo page (not the site I actually want to record) and when switiching to the tab I need to record, the extension records nothing. Uploads a black video. Uninstalling as this is now completely useless.
