Simple controls for fast screen capture

The extension starts with a small popup that lets you choose your recording setup before opening the recorder page. That keeps the workflow light and makes it faster to start a recording when you only need clean screen capture controls.

Optional microphone and tab audio

You can enable microphone audio when you want voice narration, and tab audio when you are sharing a Chrome tab that supports audio capture. That makes the extension useful for walkthroughs, demos, tutorials, and lightweight presentations.

Preview and download after recording

Once you stop the recording, the extension shows a preview and gives you a direct download option. That makes it easy to save the video locally and review the result before sharing it anywhere else.
