How to Use Screen Recorder Online: Step-by-Step Guide
Capture your full desktop, application window, or browser tab with system and microphone audio
About Screen Recorder — Free Online Tool
Screen Recorder captures your desktop monitor, individual application window, or active browser tab directly in the browser and exports a high-definition WebM recording.
Invoking the capture prompts the browser native getDisplayMedia screen-sharing picker, streaming composite display frames directly into MediaRecorder with VP8 or VP9 encoding. System audio and microphone tracks are dynamically multiplexed into the stream where user permissions allow. The pipeline operates entirely in-memory with real-time hardware acceleration, avoiding any temporary file serialization or server ingestion until you export the final take.
Your screen stream and audio buffers never leave your local device or travel over external sockets. Everything is encoded in volatile memory inside the current browser context and is immediately wiped when you reset the session.
