How to record your screen with audio in Chrome
Need to show a bug, explain a workflow, or send a quick tutorial? Recsavo records a browser tab, window or screen and saves a standard MP4 on your own computer.
1. Open the extension
Launch Recsavo from the Chrome extensions toolbar. Close tabs and notifications you would rather keep out of your recording. You can also try the 15-second recorder on our homepage.
2. Choose what to capture
For a website, select a browser tab: this is the most dependable way to capture that tab's audio. Choose a window for one application or the entire screen when switching between apps. Video capture and audio capture are separate browser permissions.
3. Check your audio source
Turn on the microphone if you plan to narrate. If Chrome offers a share-tab-audio option, enable it when selecting a tab. Browser capture of all computer audio is not generally available on macOS for entire-screen or window capture.
4. Record, review, export
Start recording, demonstrate your task, then stop. Play back your clip to check picture and sound. Trim extra parts in the editor if needed, then export your MP4.
Common questions
Why is my recording silent?
Check your capture source, microphone permission, and any tab-audio option. Sharing a whole Mac screen is not the same as sharing system audio.
Do I need to upload my video?
No. Recording and processing run in your browser, and the final MP4 stays on your computer.
