Record a tab, a window, or your whole display with your camera in the corner. Both streams land in one file, and the share link is ready the moment you press stop.
Open the recorder settings and choose the camera and microphone you want. As soon as a camera is selected, the overlay turns on automatically for screen recordings, so there is no separate picture-in-picture mode to find.
Press record and your browser asks whether to share a tab, a window, or the entire screen. Tab sharing is the cleanest option for a web app, because notifications and other windows cannot wander into the frame.
Pause while you find a file or wait for a build, then resume into the same recording. One pause is far better than three separate clips someone has to watch in order.
The recording uploads while you talk, so stopping produces a link almost immediately. Anyone you send it to can watch without creating an account.
If you want the camera full-frame with no screen capture, use the webcam recorder. For a plain screen capture with no camera at all, the free online screen recorder is the shorter path.
A screen recording with a camera in it is really two captures that have to stay in sync: the display stream your browser hands over after the sharing prompt, and the camera stream from getUserMedia. Clipy composites them into a single recording as you go rather than saving two files for you to line up afterwards. The camera sits as an overlay on top of the screen capture. It is on by default whenever a camera is selected, and you can hide and show it mid-recording without stopping — useful when you want your face on screen while you set up the problem, then out of the way while you show a dense screen. What you see in the preview is what ends up in the file. The camera preview is mirrored by default, because an unmirrored view of yourself is disorienting to talk to. The saved recording matches the preview, and the setting is remembered if you turn it off.
There are two recording modes and they are not the same thing. Screen mode captures your display with the camera as a small overlay — that is what this page starts you in, and it is what most people mean by a screen and webcam recording. Camera mode records the webcam full-frame with no screen capture at all, for a talking-head clip. The mode has to be chosen before you start, because the browser sets up different capture sources for each. The camera overlay, on the other hand, can be toggled freely while recording. If you want a full-frame talking head instead, the webcam recorder is the more direct route.
Alongside the video, every recording produces a transcript, a summary, and a set of key moments with timestamps — a text version an AI coding agent can read without watching anything. Recordings started here are declared as walkthroughs, because a screen recording with a narrator in the corner almost always is one: you are showing someone how something works or what went wrong. That matters because walkthroughs are treated as procedural, keeping up to 100 key moments instead of 30 and preserving each demonstrated step rather than summarising them away. If what you are recording is genuinely not a walkthrough, nothing breaks — you get a more detailed set of moments than you needed.
Your microphone is captured separately from the screen, so your voice is clear regardless of what the shared surface is doing. System audio is a different matter: whether it is included depends on what you share and which box you tick in your browser's prompt. Chrome offers to share tab audio when you share a tab, and that checkbox is easy to miss. If you start a recording and the shared screen has no audio track, Clipy says so on screen rather than letting you find out afterwards. If you are demonstrating something with sound — a video, an alert, a call — it is worth checking that warning before you get going.
No. The recorder runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, and Linux. There is a Chrome extension and a Mac app if you want a recorder that is not tied to a browser tab, but neither is required for this page.
Yes, and you can do it without stopping. Use the webcam control to hide or show the overlay at any point during a recording. Switching between screen mode and full-frame camera mode is the one thing that has to be decided before you start.
There is no watermark on any recording, on any plan. The free tier does include an allowance for how much you can record before upgrading, which the recorder shows you as you approach it.
It uploads to Clipy while you record, which is how the share link is ready as soon as you stop. Recordings are private to your account until you share the link, and a link can be password-protected or set to expire if it should not stay open indefinitely.
No. Share links open for anyone. An account is only needed to record.
