Add to Chrome — record screen, window, or tab with mic

Pause and resume a screen recording

Pause keeps one file when you need a moment to think, switch apps, or hide a notification.

How

  1. Start a recording as usual.
  2. Use the pause control on the floating panel (or the Chrome pause shortcut if configured).
  3. Resume when you are ready to continue the same take.
  4. Stop when the story ends, then trim any long gaps.

If you paused for several minutes, trimming is usually cleaner than leaving the silence in the export.
