Choose what to record
Open the screen recorder on a supported desktop browser. Start a recording and choose screen capture. In the browser’s sharing dialog, select the tab, window or screen you want to show.
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support browser recording. Available capture and audio options vary by browser and operating system. The mobile app records voice and audio, so use a desktop setup for this screen workflow.
Check sound before the full take
Select your microphone for narration. If you need sound from a browser tab, choose that tab and enable its audio option in the sharing dialog when available.
Make a short recording, stop it and play it back. Hearing your microphone does not prove the recording also contains the tab’s sound. Check both separately.
Record the demonstration
- Close unrelated windows and notifications.
- Start capture and confirm the recorder is running.
- Perform the task at a pace a viewer can follow.
- Explain choices that would otherwise be unclear from the picture.
- Stop from the recorder controls and wait for saving and upload to finish.
Keep the recording tab available while saving. If the connection fails, follow recording troubleshooting before clearing browser storage or discarding pending capture data.
Review and share
Open the saved recording. Check the start, end and any private information that may have appeared on screen. Review the transcript if you will use it for instructions or quotations.
Use the recording’s sharing controls and verify the recipient’s access. A downloaded file is a separate copy from the library recording. See permissions and download help.
Improve a second take
If audio is missing, check audio troubleshooting. If the picture stutters, simplify what is running and record another short test. Check your account’s recording allowance before a long session.
