Do recordings upload to a server by default?
No. The core recording, processing, and storage flow is local-first inside the browser rather than a mandatory upload pipeline.
FAQ
The clearest answers to the most common questions about browser-first, local-first screen recording with Screen Recorder.
No. The core recording, processing, and storage flow is local-first inside the browser rather than a mandatory upload pipeline.
No. The main recording flow is browser-first, so users can open the app and start recording without a separate desktop install for the core workflow.
Yes. The app supports screen capture with microphone audio and optional webcam overlay in a browser-first local workflow.
Yes. The useful path starts before any account requirement, so you can open the recorder, capture the screen, review locally, and export without a sign-up wall at the front of the workflow.
No. Exported recordings are clean and do not add a watermark or branding overlay.
Desktop Chromium browsers such as Chrome and Edge are the strongest fit for the current recording flow.
Sometimes, but not universally. The strongest path is Chromium tab capture when the browser share dialog exposes audio for the selected tab. Full system-audio behavior depends on the browser and operating system.
The honest answer is: for as long as your browser and local disk allow. This app is long-form friendly on desktop Chromium, but browser-managed storage and local processing still have real limits for very large sessions.
Recordings are stored locally in browser-managed storage instead of being pushed automatically into a hosted cloud workflow.
It is strongest for demos, walkthroughs, bug reports, training clips, async updates, and other recordings where a fast browser-first local workflow matters more than a heavier production stack.
No. Mobile browser recording is much more limited and inconsistent than desktop Chromium recording, so desktop remains the stronger path when the recording matters.
