How to use it
Microphone
Capture uses the system default microphone. If the browser cannot access it, the page says so instead of recording silence.
Format
Audio is delivered in the format the browser records, ready for narration and transcription.
Use in video
After downloading, the recording can be laid over a video with the add audio tool.
Examples in practice
Video narration
A two-minute script is recorded in one take and used as the track for a silent video.
Voice note for the team
A 40-second message is recorded and sent the same day, without a messaging app.
Frequently asked questions
Is the audio sent anywhere?
No. The recording stays in the browser and only leaves when you download it.
Can I record without a microphone?
No: without an accessible microphone the browser does not start capture, and the page warns you.
