Pause & Resume
Pause the recording at any point and resume seamlessly — perfect for recording in multiple takes without creating separate files.
Multiple Recordings
Capture as many clips as you need in one session. Each recording is listed with its name, timestamp, and duration so you can manage them independently.
Instant Playback
Play back any recording immediately after stopping — no processing delay. The custom video player makes it easy to review your clips.
Download as WebM
Save your recordings as WebM video files, the native format supported by all modern browsers. WebM files are compatible with VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and most modern video players and editors.
Privacy & Security
Your video and audio data is never uploaded to any server. All recording happens locally inside your browser using client-side Web APIs. Once you close the tab or refresh the page, the recordings are permanently cleared from memory.
Technical Details
This tool uses the MediaRecorder API with video/webm;codecs=vp9,opus (falling back to video/webm) for recording, and the getUserMedia API to request access to your camera and microphone. The recorded blobs are held in memory and served via URL.createObjectURL() for instant in-browser playback.
