I believe that many people would like to use Chrome browser. People do loads of things on Chorme browser including online games, online videos, online session, etc, but do you ever wonder how to record them? In so doing, you're allowed to create tutorial videos or capture some memorable moments. If the answer is YES, I’d like to share some tricks about recording Chrome browser that I have found recently.
First of all, we should choose some efficient Chrome screen recorders. Absolutely, they should be free and workable on different platforms like Windows and Mac. Below, I’ll recommend some wonderful tools.
1. Screencastify
This tool is a Chrome extension that is available on Google store. With this tool, you’re allowed to record desktop or your tab on Chrome. You can open Chrome menu options then go to “More Tools” > “Extension” > “Get more extension” to add it on your Chrome tool bar. (You can also directly visit the site of: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps) When you have installed it successfully, press the icon and then click “Start Recording”. Your Chrome screen will be finely captured in your local drive.
Note that, the recorded video can only be saved as WEBM or VP8 file that is not supported by most players. Aside from this tool, there’s a web-based program also does a great job in recording Chrome browser.
2. Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recorder
As the name implies, this free software can be used on webpage directly, so it’s very convenient and easy to record Chrome browser. In its program options, there’re various formats available for output videos, like AVI, MP4, WMV, etc. It saves your time and energy on solving the compatible issues. Besides, it comes with a real time editor that allows you to annotate and highlight Chrome screen during recording. It comes in handy when recording demo videos in Chrome. You may follow the instructions to use it.
These two methods are helpful to record video in Chrome, wishing all of you will find them useful as well.
