Step by step

8 steps to record your screen in the browser.

  1. Choose Record your screen

    On your Tutorials page, choose Record your screen. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on a computer, with nothing to install.

    Step 1: Choose Record your screen
  2. Set it up

    Type what you're showing: it becomes the title. Keep Narrate with my microphone ticked to talk it through, and check the bar moves when you speak.

    Step 2: Set it up
  3. Pick what to share

    Choose Start recording. Your browser asks what to share: pick the tab with your app and choose Share. A single tab gives the sharpest video.

    Step 3: Pick what to share
  4. Go through the task

    After a three-second countdown, switch to that tab and do the task at a normal pace, saying what you're doing as you go.

    Step 4: Go through the task
  5. Stop when you're done

    Choose Stop in the floating window or at the bottom of your Tutorials page, or use your browser's Stop sharing button.

    Step 5: Stop when you're done
  6. Make the tutorial

    Watch it back, then choose Make tutorial. It's saved on your computer as it records, so nothing is lost if the upload fails.

    Step 6: Make the tutorial
  7. Choose the basics

    A short guided setup opens first. Choose the video's shape, captions and cursor, or close it and set them later.

    Step 7: Choose the basics
  8. Check it and render

    The editor opens with your steps and script. Check them, then choose Render video.

    Step 8: Check it and render
