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.

No time limit is mentioned for some uses, useful for specific tasks like User Bob's HITs on MTurk

App crashes or fails to save recordings especially those longer than 30 minutes to 1 hour
Long saving/loading times after recording causing delays

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. 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.

Screen Recorder requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
