How do the three methods differ?
Screen and player recording re-encode in real time. Buffer capture saves supported player segments, preserving their encoding where supported. Compatibility depends on the source.

Instructions and common questions
How to use it
Choose a capture method
The recommended method opens by default; use Change method to adjust it. Screen recording saves shared video and audio, Player segment supports a time range, and Player buffers saves supported MSE fragments.
Choose a source and start
Screen recording requires permission in the browser picker; enable shared audio for sound. Buffer capture reloads the selected page, so restart playback.
Stop and save
Keep the source and capture page open, then choose Stop & save. If saving fails, return to the capture page and retry the cached recording.
Common questions
Why is the recording silent?
The selected source may not share audio. Check the browser picker; available audio sources depend on the browser and operating system.
Can I record only part of a video?
Open Record & capture, use Change method to choose Player segment, then select a page, player and optional start/end seconds. Play the source once first. Blank times record from the current position to the end; pausing playback pauses recording. MP4 or WebM is re-encoded with approximate boundaries. Keep the source and recording pages open.
