The story behind recorder.video

Recording your screen should be as easy as opening a web page. Yet the usual options mean installing software, creating an account, accepting a watermark or hitting a time limit just as the demo gets interesting. recorder.video is a screen, webcam and microphone recorder that lives entirely in the browser tab and asks for none of that.

What's inside

• Capture: the browser's own screen-sharing and camera APIs, so you choose exactly which screen, window or tab is recorded.
• Crash-safe storage: each take is written to your browser's storage in small pieces while you record, so a crash or reload doesn't lose it.
• Editing: takes are captured with the browser's MediaRecorder, then trimmed and converted on your machine with WebCodecs and the open-source mediabunny library. Export MP4, WebM, audio only or a short GIF.
• Presenter extras: background blur powered by MediaPipe's selfie segmentation model (served from this site), a drawing pen, size presets for YouTube, Shorts and TikTok, and optional on-device captions using the open-source Whisper speech model.

Who it is for
