Free Online Screen Recorder - No Installation Required
Our online screen recorder lets you capture your screen, application windows, and browser tabs directly from your web browser with no software downloads or extensions needed. Record in resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD with optional audio from your microphone, system audio, or both simultaneously.
The online screen recorder offers pause and resume, a webcam overlay, a 3, 5 or 10 second countdown, and a bitrate setting from 1 to 15 Mbps. Record a software walkthrough with your face in the corner, a slide presentation with narration, or a 60 FPS gameplay clip at up to 4K.
All screen recordings are never uploaded: they stay on your device, private and secure. The recordings are saved as WebM or MP4 files, depending on what your browser can record, that you can download instantly and use in any video editor or share on any platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which browsers are supported?
The screen recorder works best on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. System audio capture is only available on Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge) when recording a browser tab with audio sharing enabled.
Can I record system audio?
System audio recording is supported on Chrome and Edge browsers. For best results, select "Browser Tab" as your recording source and check the "Share audio" box in the browser sharing dialog. Desktop application audio cannot be captured via browser.
What output formats are available?
Recordings can be saved as WebM (recommended) or MP4. Firefox records WebM only and Safari records MP4 only; the tool tells you when it switches. WebM files can be converted to other formats using our video converter tools.
Is there a recording time limit?
There is no built-in time limit. Recording duration is only limited by your device's available memory and storage. For very long recordings, higher bitrate settings will consume more storage space.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use microphone for voiceover: Microphone audio is the most reliable option across all browsers. Select "Microphone" as your audio source for consistent results.
- Record browser tabs for system audio: To capture system audio, choose "Browser Tab" and enable "Share audio" in the sharing dialog. This is the only reliable method in browsers.
- Match quality to purpose: Use 1080p 30fps for tutorials and demos. Use 720p for quick bug reports. Reserve 4K and 60fps for high-quality content where visual detail matters.
- Use the countdown timer: Enable the countdown to give yourself time to prepare after clicking Start and before recording begins.
- Close unnecessary tabs: Close browser tabs and applications you do not want to appear in your recording to keep the focus on your content.
- Test before important recordings: Do a short test recording to verify audio levels, video quality, and screen selection before your main recording session.
