How to Record Your Screen Online - Screen, Camera, or Microphone
A screen recorder captures your screen, camera, or microphone right in the browser. Pick a source, then Start, Pause, and Stop while a live timer runs. Turn on optional face blur, download the clip as WebM, or convert it to MP4. Everything stays on your device, with no upload and no account.

Steps
- Pick a source: camera, camera and microphone, microphone only, or your screen.
- Optional: turn on face blur and set the blur strength before you start, on a supported browser.
- Click Start, then Pause or Resume as needed, and watch the live mm:ss timer.
- Click Stop; the clip appears with playback controls and a Download link.
- Optional: convert the clip to MP4 in the browser, then download it.
Recording sources
Four sources are available. Camera records video only; camera and microphone records both; microphone only captures audio; screen records a window, tab, or full display. Recording starts only after you click Start and grant the browser permission. If you end a screen share from the browser chrome, recording stops on its own.
Optional face blur
On a browser with the face detector available, face blur hides detected faces on your device before the recorder sees the frame. Set the blur strength from 1 to 10. Where the detector is missing, recording continues without blur and the control is hidden. The settings below are what the tool uses.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Blur strength range | 1 to 10 (default 5) |
| MP4 video codec | H.264, CRF 22 |
| MP4 audio | AAC, 128 kbps |
| MP4 module size | About 31 MB, loaded once |
WebM and MP4
The clip is saved as WebM by default. To get MP4 (H.264), click Convert to MP4; a one-time module of about 31 MB loads on first use and the re-encode runs entirely in the browser. Long clips can be slow and are limited by your device memory.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser. There is no upload widget and no account; recordings stay on your device and are never uploaded, and nothing persists after you leave the page.
