Screen Recorder - A minimal, ad-free screen recorder in your browser

With more of us working from home than ever before, there's a growing need to show someone what's on your screen. That's why I built Screen Recorder! It's a modern and minimal Progressive Web App. 100% Free. Private. No Watermarks. No Ads. No Recording Limits.

This looks great. Any chance you can convert the recorded video to GIF?
Jaydan Urwin
@lincolnwdaniel Thank you Lincoln! There aren't any plans for GIF export currently but I'll definitely keep it in mind down the road. You should be able to download the .webm though and use a converter to make it a GIF 👍

Hello Jaydan, Any chance a switch to turn the laptop camera on/ off can be added to the app? Thanks, Sebastian

Hey !! Nice Work !!.. truely amazing, so clean and so simple.. had a question: I was trying to record a video from youtube.. that didnt work.. I think thats not possible for now ryt? otherwise it works so cool!!
Jaydan Urwin
@naitik_shah Thanks for the compliments Naitik! It should be able to record whatever is currently on the screen being recorded. Do you mean it didn't record the audio of the video you were watching inside the recording?

Absolutely love this idea! I wish there was more to control like Resolution, frame rate or maybe some basic trim features. That last one isn't important though. What i'd absolutely kill to see is the ability to take screenshots as well with basic drawing tools. That would be amazing. Great work!

Does this take audio from a mic too?
Jaydan Urwin
@nateritter Thanks for the question! I realize I needed to make the distinction. It actually only takes audio from a mic right now. There's no support for internal browser audio at the moment. I've been prospecting the possibility of this but I'm not sure all browsers support it quite yet. I did just push out an update that highlights the audio being recorded is from a microphone though. I hope that helps!

@Jaydanurwin Quick question - I do live streams on LinkedIn Live and have been wanting to record just the sound after the show (or during I guess) - will this do that for me?
Jaydan Urwin
@phatcatbrett Feel free to see my comment above to Nate. It only will record external audio through a microphone instead of the internal audio being sent out of the browser. There's a chance I'll be able to add that feature down the road but right now it'll only be recording incoming audio from a mic. I hope that helps!

@jaydanurwin Thanks - makes sense

May be i'm doing something wrong. But, it records not computer audio, it records outside sound and it's also very noisy

Doesn't work, not matter how many times I try to record anything. I have the latest version of Chrome.
Jaydan Urwin
@rick_colvin Let's see if we can figure it out then! I've been running QA test for weeks now in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox and everything seems to be working as expected. If you fill out the contact form at the link below I'll see what I can do to help 👍 https://jaydanurwin.com/contact

@jaydanurwin Actually, I figured it out. Windows media player will not play WEBM files so I had to download a separate media player that DOES support WEBM files and voila! Might be nice to let people know that a separate media program is needed to actually watch the downloaded videos.

No webcam?!

How about saving the file in MP4 format?
Jaydan Urwin
@tin_hang_liu This is seeming like a common request. Someone asked this same question earlier but I know it can easily be missed. Here was my reply: "I am currently scoping out the possibility of it supporting MP4 exports by default on Chrome rather than a WEBM file. Since this is using web technologies I really am at the mercy of what the user's browser supports and right now Chrome is the only browser that would support a direct recording to MP4 (according to my research). Keep your eyes peeled though, you might see the MP4 export sooner rather than later! 👍"
