User reviews

The Screen Recorder Chrome extension is valued for short recordings and convenience, especially for tasks like User Bob's HITs. However, it struggles with longer recordings over 30 minutes to 1 hour, often crashing or failing to save files. Users complain about long saving times, occasional poor video or audio quality, and lack of a recording timer. Recent browser updates seem to have caused further functionality issues. Overall, it works well for brief sessions but is not dependable for lengthy recordings.
Pros
  • Works well for short recordings (under 30 minutes to 1 hour)
  • No time limit is mentioned for some uses, useful for specific tasks like User Bob's HITs on MTurk
  • Good video quality around 720p for short sessions

Cons
  • App crashes or fails to save recordings especially those longer than 30 minutes to 1 hour
  • Long saving/loading times after recording causing delays
  • Video quality sometimes average or poor and voice recorded at low volume
