How to install Install extension

How it works

Three simple steps: launch the extension from your computer browser and choose the options you need, get ready, then start recording.

Step 1 — Waiting for your choice

The extension waits for your choice. Pick the options you need before recording: system sound, microphone and camera. Click the big round button to prepare the screen. Choose the source — the whole screen, a browser tab or a single window. To be able to choose a source, enable this option in settings (gear icon).
