Tips for better recordings
Face a window or lamp so your face is lit from the front. Raise the camera to eye level. Use a headset or USB mic if you have one, as it will sound better than a laptop’s built-in microphone. Pause for a second after pressing record and before stopping, so your first and last words aren’t clipped. And keep the tab in the foreground while recording, because browsers slow down background tabs. Our full guide to recording webcam video online has more.
Your video stays yours
Recording happens entirely in your browser using the built-in MediaRecorder. Nothing is uploaded. Download your clips before closing the tab, because closing it clears them.
