Recording your screen with nothing installed
Screen recording straight from the browser — window, tab or full screen, with mic audio — plus trimming the result and turning it into a GIF.
Modern browsers can record the screen natively — the same API that powers screen-sharing in video calls can save to a file. That means no downloaded recorder, no watermark, no trial period, and nothing leaving your machine.
How it works
Open the Screen Recorder, pick what to share — the full screen, one window, or a single browser tab — optionally enable your microphone, and record. Stop when done and download the video. The recording is produced in your browser; it is never uploaded anywhere.
A few practical notes:
- Tab recording is the cleanest for demos: notifications from other apps can't photobomb a tab.
- Mic audio is captured alongside — narrate as you click and the voice-over is already in the file.
- System audio support varies by browser and OS; test with a 5-second clip before recording anything long.
The cleanup pass
Nobody's first take starts at the right moment. Cut the fumbling at the start and the reach-for-the-stop-button at the end with Trim Video.
For bug reports and documentation, a silent looping clip often lands better than a video player: convert the interesting 5–10 seconds with Video to GIF and paste it directly into GitHub issues, Slack or docs — GIFs autoplay everywhere.
Audio-only?
For voice memos, podcast snippets or pronunciation samples, skip the screen entirely: the Voice Recorder records from the mic in-browser and exports a WAV — same zero-install, zero-upload deal.
