What is Screen Recorder?
The 'Screen Recorder' is a handy Chrome extension designed for users who need to generate video recordings from their web camera, desktop, or window tabs. It prominently illustrates the immense potential of the MediaStream recording API coupled with the WebRTC Screen sharing. System audio recording, however, is currently accessible only on Windows and ChromeOS via Chrome Dev or Beta channel.

So it's a good recorder. It can record internal audio which I have been looking for a long time. But the problem is that I can't edit it on a video editor. It says that the file is not supported. If anyone knows a video editor that can support this file let me know...

I want to make a video for my YouTube channel by screen recording but how do you add it?

Really useful tool for recording different tabs and windows. I am satisfied with this application, however the only issue I have is that sometimes my recorded videos are laggy or low quality after recording for 15 minutes or so, but overall I like using this app.
