Record Your Screen and Save It as an MP4
This MP4 recorder captures your screen, a browser tab, or your camera and saves the result as an MP4 file. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install to start a recording.
A screen recording is also the fastest way to show someone a bug, a workflow, or a walkthrough. You record once, send the link, and skip the back and forth of a written explanation.
What you get:
- Recording sources: screen, window, browser tab, microphone and camera, with system audio
- Video quality up to 4K, depending on the computer
- Output as an MP4 file, no watermark on any recording or export
- A transcript and AI notes generated from the recording automatically
- Free plan: 2 transcriptions of recordings up to 45 minutes each
Recordings save to your account, so you can open them later on another device.
How MP4 Screen Recording Works
- Choose what to record: Pick your full screen, a single window, or a browser tab. Add your microphone, your camera, or both.
- Record: The recorder runs in the browser using your browser’s screen capture support. Pause and resume as you go.
- Stop and save: Stop the recording and it saves as an MP4. Download it or share a link, and open the transcript and AI notes a few minutes later.
Picture quality depends mostly on your screen resolution and lighting if you include your camera. See how we measure accuracy for how the transcript and notes are checked.

Who Uses an MP4 Screen Recorder
Support teams record a walkthrough of the exact steps to fix a problem instead of writing them out, and send the link in the same reply.
Developers and QA capture a bug as it happens, with the console or the browser tab visible, so the report includes the exact state that caused it.
Teachers and trainers record a screen demo of software or a process once and reuse the MP4 for every class instead of repeating the walkthrough live.
Remote teams record a quick update or a design review with their screen and camera together, so a teammate in another time zone can watch it on their own schedule.
Content creators record software demos and tutorials directly in the browser and download the MP4 for editing elsewhere.
