Common Questions
What video format is the recording?
Recordings are saved in WebM format with VP9 or VP8 codec. This is a widely supported format that plays in all modern browsers and can be converted to MP4 using video converters if needed.
Can I record system audio?
Yes, when recording a browser tab in Chrome or Edge. Select "Share tab audio" in the browser dialog. Full desktop audio capture requires system permissions that vary by OS.
Is there a time limit for recordings?
No time limit. Recording duration is only limited by your device's available memory. For very long recordings (1+ hour), ensure you have sufficient RAM.
Why can I only record one window/tab at a time?
This is a browser security feature. The Screen Capture API requires user permission for each recording source to protect privacy.
Can I pause the recording?
Yes, you can pause and resume recording as many times as needed. The final video will be seamless without any pause gaps.
Which browsers support screen recording?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari all support screen recording. Chrome and Edge have the best support for audio capture.
