Free online screen recorder

The free online screen recorder makes it easy to capture and share your screen with a few clicks. You don’t need an account to record your screen.

With the free recorder, you can:

• Record a single browser tab, a single window, or your full screen
• Record with or without a webcam
• Record with or without audio
• Zoom in and out while recording
• Draw on your screen while recording
• Celebrate moments with fun screen effects

Yes, the online screen recorder is 100% private and secure. You do not need an account to record your screen and webcam, and your recordings are all stored in browser memory until you choose to save them to your device.

You also have the option to share your videos on ScreenPal.com, which allows you to share with a secure, customizable link. You can set your link to be unlisted so only people with the link can view your video, or you can add password protection. You can also choose to make your link public for anyone to watch.

No, there are no watermarks on any recordings with the free online screen recorder. You can record with confidence and know that you will be sharing a high-quality, professional-looking video.

The free online screen recorder works on desktops and laptops in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Firefox. We recommend Chrome or Edge for the best online recording results.

There is no strict time limit with the free online screen recorder. The only limits are based on memory and the size of your screen recorder. For unlimited recordings with no time limits, try ScreenPal’s premium desktop screen recorder.
