Online screen recorder - Screen Capture API in the browser

Modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) support Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia()) allowing you to record the screen directly in the browser - without installing any software. The tool allows you to select a screen, window or tab and download the recording as a WebM file.

Screen Capture API - how it works

navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(): asks for permissions and returns MediaStream. Source selection: screen, application window, browser tab. MediaRecorder: records the stream. Codecs: VP9/WebM (Chrome), H.264/MP4 (Edge, Safari). Restrictions: Requires HTTPS. Does not work on iOS Safari (getDisplayMedia not supported).

Recording parameters

Resolution: width, height (scaled by DisplaySurface). Framerate: 30 or 60 fps. Audio: from system (Windows), microphone, no audio. Cursor: always, motion, never. Cropping: screen only, window, tab. Bitrate: higher = better quality, larger file. WebM format: VP9 compression, small file.

Alternative recording tools

OBS Studio: professional, open-source, streaming. Loom: cloud recording, sharing link. ShareX: Windows, open-source. QuickTime: macOS built-in. Xbox Game Bar (Win+G): Windows gaming. Cleanshot X: macOS premium. Screencast-o-matic. Tldv/Otter.ai: meeting recording with transcription.

WebM vs MP4 for screen recordings

WebM (VP9): small file, open-source codec, great in Chrome. Not supported by all players. MP4 (H.264): universal, supported everywhere. Conversion: FFmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.webm output.mp4. Online: cloudconvert.com, HandBrake. WebM size recording 10 minutes of HD screen: approx. 50-200 MB depends on activity.
