Screen Recorder

Record a video from the camera or capture it from the screen (desktop, specific application window or browser tab)

Download

Screen Recorder is a versatile Chrome extension that enables you to record videos directly from your camera or capture your screen, whether it's your entire desktop, a specific application window, or a browser tab. This easy-to-use tool is free, requires no signup, and leaves no watermarks on your videos, allowing unlimited recordings for all users.

Recent updates have enhanced usability by adding autosave features to protect your recordings from crashes, combined audio recording from both microphone and system, and video playback controls such as seeking and skipping. Additionally, it supports simultaneous screen and camera recording with more customization options on the way, and provides warnings before deleting any unsaved videos, ensuring you never lose important content unexpectedly.

User reviews

Screen Recorder is praised for being free, easy to use, lightweight, and effective at recording Chrome tabs. However, multiple users report significant issues with its default .webm format, including large file sizes and poor playback features. Audio recording problems, crashes during video processing, and occasional loss of recordings are common frustrations. Users also desire better export options like mp4 and clearer recording controls. Despite flaws, many users recommend it as a good free alternative for tab recording.

Pros

Free to use with no signup required.
Easy to use and efficient for recording browser tabs.
Good for recording Chrome tabs smoothly and with good quality compared to some built-in tools.
Lightweight and quick to start recording.
Ability to record screen without capturing other tabs or windows.

Cons

Records videos in .webm format which is large in size and has limited compatibility (no mp4 export).
Recorded videos cannot be fast-forwarded or easily scrubbed, causing a poor playback experience.
Audio recording is unreliable or sometimes does not work.
Some users experienced crashes, video processing issues, or black screens after recording sessions, resulting in lost recordings.
Interface lacks clear recording controls, causing confusion whether recording is active or not.

I've been using this for a long time, it works really well. There have been some things where it cuts off the first part of the recording, but that might just be a problem with my computer
