Screen Recorder

Record your screen, window, or browser tab.

Ready to Record

Choose a screen or window to start capturing.

Instantly capture your screen, application window, or browser tab without installing software. Create high-quality recordings locally.

Why This Tool Exists

Screen recording is an essential communication tool for tutorials, bug reports, and presentations. However, most screen recorders fall into two categories: complex desktop software that requires admin rights (like OBS), or "free" browser extensions that limit your recording time and watermark your videos. PrivaQuickTools Screen Recorder breaks this mold. It utilizes the modern **MediaDevices** and **Screen Capture API** built directly into your browser. This means you get native recording performance without installing a single byte of code. Because it runs locally, you can record for as long as your disk space allows. There are no artificial time limits, no watermarks, and absolutely no data sent to our servers. Your recording streams directly from your screen to your hard drive.

I was trying to show a developer a weird bug on our production site. I couldn't install a recorder on my locked-down work laptop, and the Chrome extensions wanted me to create an account. I built this tool to be the frictionless "Record" button I always wished I had.

How It Works

Understanding the processing logic.

This tool turns your browser into a recording studio: - **Source Selection:** Choose between your entire screen, a specific app window, or a browser tab. - **Audio:** Option to mix in microphone audio or system audio (tab only). - **Format:** Records in high-efficiency WebM format, compatible with all modern players. - **Privacy:** Permission is requested every time. The browser creates a secure "Stream" that ends the moment you click Stop.

Accuracy & Reliability

Standard browser-based processing logic.

Common Mysteries & Fixes

System Audio

On some operating systems (like macOS), capturing 'System Audio' is only possible when recording a Browser Tab, not the full screen.

Permissions

If you deny the screen sharing permission pop-up, the tool cannot function. You'll need to refresh to ask again.

Disk Space

Long recordings (1 hour+) can create very large files. Ensure you have free space.

Hidden Controls

Sometimes the 'Stop Sharing' floating bar provided by the browser is the easiest way to end the recording.

Real-World Scenarios

Quick Processing

Process files without verifying server security.

Offline Work

Use the tool without an internet connection.
