A Chrome extension can cover many demo and support recordings without a heavy desktop installer. You stay in the browser, pick a surface in Chrome’s dialog, and keep the file on this computer.
What the extension path is good for
- Tab tours and bug paths inside Chrome.
- Window or full-screen demos when you need more than one site.
- Mic narration and an optional webcam bubble.
When you may still want a desktop tool
Some teams need OS-level hooks, game overlays, or shared cloud libraries. Export from the extension and upload elsewhere if that is your workflow — see local vs cloud.
