Frequently Asked Questions
How does the online screen recorder work?
Our online screen recorder uses the browser's native Screen Capture API and MediaRecorder API to record your screen. You can choose to record the entire screen, a specific window, or a browser tab. The tool requests permission from your browser to access your screen and audio, and once granted, you can record directly in your browser without installing any software.
What can I record with this tool?
You can record three types of content: 1) Entire Screen - captures everything visible on your monitor, 2) Specific Window - captures a particular application window, 3) Browser Tab - captures the current browser tab content. The tool also supports audio recording from your microphone and system audio, plus optional webcam overlay for picture-in-picture recording.
Is the screen recorder secure and private?
Yes, our screen recorder is completely secure and private. All recording processing happens locally in your browser using native browser APIs. Your recordings are never uploaded to any server - they stay on your device. The tool only requests permission to access your screen when you explicitly choose to start recording.
Can I set a timer for delayed recording?
Yes, the tool includes a timer feature that allows you to set a delay before recording starts. This is useful when you need to prepare your screen content or navigate to a specific page before recording. You can set delays from 1 to 60 seconds, and the tool will show a countdown with optional beep sounds before automatically starting the recording.
What browsers support this screen recorder?
The screen recorder works in modern browsers that support the Screen Capture API and MediaRecorder API, including Chrome 72+, Firefox 66+, Safari 13+, and Edge 79+. The tool requires HTTPS to function properly for security reasons. If you're on HTTP, you may need to use localhost or enable insecure origins for testing.
Can I record audio with the screen?
Yes, you can record audio along with your screen capture. The tool supports recording system audio (sounds from your computer), microphone audio (your voice), or both simultaneously. You can also choose to record without any audio if you prefer silent recordings. Audio recording requires additional browser permissions.
What video formats are supported for saving recordings?
Recordings are saved in WebM format, which provides good quality and compression. WebM is widely supported by modern browsers and video players. The tool automatically uses the best available codec supported by your browser for optimal quality and file size balance.
Why do I need to grant permission for screen recording?
Browser security requires explicit user permission before any website can access your screen content. This prevents malicious websites from secretly recording your screen. When you click 'Start Recording', your browser will show a permission dialog asking if you want to share your screen with this website. You must click 'Allow' or 'Share' to proceed with the recording.
