How to record your screen with audio
- Choose the format, frame rate (15, 30 or 60 fps) and an optional 3 or 5 second countdown.
- Tick Microphone and pick your mic if you want narration, and leave System / tab audio on to capture sound.
- Click Start recording, choose a screen, window or tab in the browser's picker, and tick Share audio if offered.
- Pause and resume as needed, click Stop, preview the recording, and download it.
What you can do with Screen Recorder
- Screen, window or tab
- Record the full screen, one application window or a single browser tab, using the browser's own secure sharing picker.
- Mic and system audio
- Capture your voice, the computer's sound, or both mixed into one track, with a choice of microphone if you have several.
- Pause and resume
- Pause the recording while you set up the next step, then continue in the same file. The timer pauses with it.
- Countdown and frame rate
- A 3 or 5 second countdown gives you time to switch windows, and 60 fps keeps scrolling and animations smooth.
- WebM or MP4 output
- Save in the formats your browser can record. The menu only shows formats that will actually work on your device.
- No watermark or limits
- Recordings are yours, unbranded and unlimited in length apart from your device's free memory.
Screen recording in the browser: audio, frame rate and formats
Browser-based screen recording uses the Screen Capture API, the same permission prompt video-call apps use when you share your screen. You decide exactly what is shared, and the browser shows an indicator for as long as capture is active. Clicking the browser's own Stop sharing button also ends the recording cleanly. System audio depends on the browser and operating system: Chrome and Edge can capture a tab's sound on any desktop OS and the whole system's sound on Windows, while macOS only allows tab audio, not full system audio, in the browser.
For tutorials and bug reports, 30 fps is plenty and keeps files smaller; choose 60 fps for gameplay, animation or fast scrolling. Recording a single tab rather than the whole screen hides notifications and other windows. If you narrate, use a headset to avoid echo and do a few seconds of test recording first. WebM files are smaller and play in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and VLC; choose MP4 when your browser offers it and you need to drop the file into editing software, PowerPoint or a phone. Recordings stay in memory until you download them, so save before closing the tab.
Frequently asked questions
Is this screen recorder private?
Yes. The video is recorded by your browser's MediaRecorder and held in your device's memory until you click Download. Nothing is streamed or uploaded to PanDev or anyone else. The browser always asks what to share and shows an indicator while recording.
How do I record my screen with audio?
Leave System / tab audio ticked and, in the browser's share picker, choose a tab or your entire screen and enable Share audio. Tick Microphone too if you want your voice. Tab audio works in Chrome and Edge on all desktops; whole-screen audio works on Windows.
Is there a time limit or watermark?
There is no watermark and no fixed time limit. The recording is kept in memory until you download it, so very long sessions are limited by your device's available RAM. The recorder targets about 5 Mb/s at 30 fps, so an hour can reach roughly 2 GB, though static screen content is often much smaller.
Can I record my screen on a phone or iPad?
No. Mobile browsers don't allow websites to capture the screen, so the tool shows a notice instead. Use the built-in recorder on iPhone (Control Center) or Android (Quick Settings). To record yourself on a phone, the Webcam Recorder works in mobile browsers.
What format is the recording saved in?
WebM or MP4, chosen from the formats your browser can encode. Chrome, Edge and Firefox record WebM; recent Chrome and Safari can also record MP4. If you need a GIF of part of the recording, open the file in the Video to GIF tool.
