How to Record Your Screen With Audio for Free (No Download)
3 min read
Whether you're making a tutorial, capturing a bug, or recording a presentation, you don't need to install Loom or Camtasia. Modern browsers can record your screen directly.
Here's how to record your screen with audio for free — including your microphone — with no watermark and no time limit, all in your browser.
Step by step
- 1Open the Screen Recorder
Go to the Screen Recorder in a Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Brave) or recent Firefox.
- 2Choose your audio
Tick Record system / tab audio and/or Record my microphone before you start, depending on whether you're narrating, capturing app sound, or both.
- 3Start recording and pick what to share
Press start, then choose your entire screen, a single window, or a browser tab. A live preview and timer appear while you record.
- 4Stop and download
Click stop (or use the browser's 'Stop sharing'), then download the recording as a WebM file. Need an MP4? Run it through the free Video Converter.
Tips
- Recording a single window or tab keeps notifications and other apps out of the frame.
- Do a 5-second test first to confirm your mic and system audio levels are right.
- Close unneeded tabs and apps for smoother, higher-quality recordings.
Frequently asked questions
Is the screen recorder really free with no watermark?
Yes — no watermark, no signup, no time limit. The recording is captured in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server.
Can I record my voice and the screen together?
Yes. Enable both the microphone and system audio options before recording and they're mixed into one video — perfect for tutorials.
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers, plus recent Firefox. On iPhone or iPad, use the device's built-in screen recorder instead.
