About recorder

Recorder is an open-source web application that lets users capture their screen, camera, or both directly in the browser with no installation required. It runs entirely client-side, meaning all processing happens locally for privacy and security with no tracking. The app offers three recording modes: screen only, screen and camera combined, and camera only. A picture-in-picture feature displays the webcam feed while recording the screen, and a real-time preview lets users see their setup before and during recording. Recordings are saved as video files for easy sharing. The interface is simple and intuitive, designed for quick use by anyone. Recorder currently requires Google Chrome due to its reliance on specific browser APIs. It is released under the MIT License, allowing free use, modification, and distribution. Developers can contribute by cloning the repository, installing dependencies with Yarn, and submitting pull requests. The app is ideal for creating tutorials, demos, presentations, or personal video
