Questions before you start recording
A few practical answers about browser support, privacy, audio, and what happens after you finish recording.
How do I record a GIF?
Start a screen recording first. After the recording is ready, click the "Make GIF" button to open it in Video to GIF, then keep trimming, editing, and exporting from there.
How do I stop screen recording?
You can stop recording by clicking the desktop or browser "Stop sharing" button, or by clicking the "Stop recording" button on this page. Either option ends the current recording.
How do I prepare a window before recording starts?
Choose 3, 5, or 10 seconds under Preparation time before starting. After you select the screen or window in the browser share dialog, the countdown gives you time to switch to the target and prepare it. The countdown is not included in the saved video.
How do I record only one browser tab or one window?
After you click Start recording, the browser opens a share picker. There you can choose a single browser tab, one application window, or your full screen. If you only want one tab or one window, choose that specific source in the share picker.
How do I record the full screen?
After you click Start recording, choose "Entire screen" or the full display you want in the browser share picker, then confirm sharing. That records your whole desktop instead of just one tab or one window.
How do I record system audio instead of microphone audio?
Set the audio mode to "Display audio if supported", then choose a tab or screen source that supports shared audio and enable audio sharing in the browser picker. System audio support depends on the browser and the source you share.
How do I record microphone audio only?
Set the audio mode to "Microphone" and allow microphone access when the browser asks for permission. That records your microphone instead of system audio.
How do I record microphone and system audio at the same time?
This recorder is mainly designed for microphone-only or display-audio-first recording. Browser support for mixing microphone audio and system audio is not consistent, so simultaneous recording may not be available or reliable in every browser.
Why do my screen recordings not have sound?
Common reasons include choosing "No audio", using a browser or shared source that does not support display audio, not enabling audio sharing in the browser picker, denying microphone permission, or using an embedded browser such as WeChat or QQ. For the best results, use the latest desktop Chrome or Edge and recheck your audio settings before recording.
Can I record MP4?
This screen recorder saves recordings as .webm files by default, which is the most common browser-native recording format. If you need MP4, convert the saved WebM file to MP4 after recording.
Does the screen recorder upload my video to your server?
No. Recording, previewing, and local history all stay in your browser on this device. You only need an account when you download the final file.
What should I do after recording?
You can download the video file directly or open it in Video to GIF to trim, crop, annotate, and export a GIF.
