User reviews

Screenity is praised for being a powerful, free, and open source screen recorder with extensive features and excellent video quality. Users appreciate its lack of watermarks, editing tools, and seamless performance without lag. However, multiple reviews note recurring audio problems, occasional video glitches including seeking difficulties and recording inconsistencies, and some usability annoyances like interference noise and lack of keyboard shortcuts. Despite these issues, its value proposition as a free alternative to paid software is widely recognized.

Videos sometimes have issues like inability to seek a specific point or corruption in longer recordings, causing inconsistent and unreliable results.
Interference noises appear after recording multiple videos.
The extension can cause functionality issues such as inability to scroll in embedded PDFs while active.
Lack of keyboard shortcuts and limited configuration options (e.g., bitrate or resolution settings) were noted as usability drawbacks.

As a user of many screen recording tools - this one is easily the most impressive. A wealth of recording options, ability to edit and then save to drive or download. Open source and free ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.

The videos ended up completely wrong! Audio from one section ended up randomly appearing somewhere else!
