Live video recorder

Record live stream!

The Live Video Recorder Chrome extension allows you to effortlessly record any HTML5 video or livestream by simply right-clicking on the video. The latest version 0.6 introduces a red icon indicator to show when recording is active, and supports multiple recordings simultaneously for enhanced usability. If you experience audio-only recordings on Windows, installing VLC media player ensures full playback compatibility. This tool provides a straightforward and convenient way to capture live content directly from your browser without additional software.

User reviews

Users find that the Live Video Recorder works well on supported sites but suffers from inconsistent functionality and frequent failures to operate. Many users are unclear about where recordings are saved and experience conflicts between the extension's and site's context menus. Requests for improved features like a recording timer and autosave indicate room for enhancement. The extension icon often doesn't reflect active recording status, leading to confusion.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Live video recorder requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
