How to screen record on Windows with Chrome

On Windows you can record from inside Chrome without installing a separate desktop suite. The browser asks which screen, window, or tab to share, then the extension writes the file locally.

Steps

1. Install Screen Recorder – Video & Webcam from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Open the popup and choose screen, window, or tab.
3. Add a microphone if you will narrate.
4. Start recording and confirm the surface in Chrome’s picker.
5. Stop from the floating panel, trim, and download MP4 or WebM.

Windows tips

• On multi-monitor setups, select the display that shows the demo.
• Close notification toasts before a full-screen share.
• If the picture is black, see when Chrome cannot share a surface.
