Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this conversion tool.

No. The screen recorder uses your browser's built-in Screen Capture API (getDisplayMedia). No extensions, plugins, or downloads are required. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other modern browsers.

No. Screen recording is processed entirely within your browser using WebRTC and MediaRecorder APIs. The video data never leaves your device until you download it. This makes it completely private.

Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave support the full Screen Capture API including tab and window capture. Firefox supports screen recording with some limitations. Safari currently has limited support for screen capture.

The recording is saved as WebM (supported in Chrome/Firefox) or MP4 depending on your browser's MediaRecorder support. To convert to another format after recording, use our Video Converter.

There is no time limit imposed by EasyConv. Your browser's memory is the practical limit — for very long recordings (over 30 minutes), the browser may slow down or run out of memory depending on your device.

Yes. When prompted to choose what to share, select "Application Window" and then choose the specific app you want to capture. Note that some protected applications (like streaming video) cannot be captured due to DRM restrictions.

Complete Guide

Browser Screen Recording: How It Works & What You Can Capture

Browser-based screen recording uses a modern web API called Screen Capture (getDisplayMedia) that was standardised in 2019. It enables full screen, window, and tab capture directly from a web page — without any native application. Here's how it works and what to expect.

How Browser Screen Recording Works

The screen recorder uses two browser APIs in combination:

getDisplayMedia(): Requests permission to capture a screen, window, or tab and returns a MediaStream containing the visual content.
MediaRecorder: Encodes the MediaStream in real time to a compressed video format (WebM in Chrome/Firefox, or MP4 in some environments) and buffers the data in memory.

When recording stops, the buffered data is assembled into a downloadable Blob and offered to the user as a file download. Nothing is ever sent to a server.

Capture Modes: Screen vs Window vs Tab

When you click Record, your browser shows a permission dialog with three capture options:

Entire screen: Captures everything visible on your monitor, including system UI and all windows. Best for recording multi-window workflows.
Application window: Captures a single application window. The rest of your screen is hidden. Best for focused software demonstrations.
Browser tab: Captures only the active browser tab. System UI and other apps are completely hidden. Best for web app demos and privacy-sensitive recordings.

Webcam Overlay: Picture-in-Picture Recording

When webcam overlay is enabled, the screen recorder captures both your screen (via getDisplayMedia) and your webcam feed (via getUserMedia) simultaneously. The webcam feed is rendered as a picture-in-picture overlay in the corner of the recording using HTML Canvas compositing.

This creates the "presenter-style" recording format popular in tutorial and explainer videos — your face and screen content side by side, all without any additional software.

Browser Compatibility for Screen Recording

Browser support for getDisplayMedia varies:

Chrome 72+: Full support for screen, window, and tab capture.
Edge 79+: Full support (Chromium-based Edge).
Firefox 66+: Screen and window capture. Tab capture requires additional configuration.
Safari: Limited or no support for getDisplayMedia as of early 2024. Use Chrome or Edge on macOS for full functionality.
Mobile browsers: Limited support. Desktop browsers are strongly recommended for screen recording.

Converting Your Screen Recording

Screen recordings are saved as WebM (in Chrome/Firefox) or MP4 (in some browsers). If you need a different format for your use case:

Convert to MP4: Use our MP4 Converter for maximum device compatibility.
Compress the file: Screen recordings can be large — use our Video Compressor to reduce size before sharing.
Trim the clip: Remove the awkward start and end of a recording with our Video Cutter.
Convert to GIF: Extract a short loop with our Video to GIF tool for GitHub READMEs and docs.
