About Simple Screen Recorder
Record. Polish. Ship — all inside Chrome.
Simple Screen Recorder captures any tab, window, or screen — with your
camera and voice — and turns it into a polished, professional-looking
video without leaving the browser.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Most screen recorders give you a raw video file and leave the rest to you.
Simple Screen Recorder includes a built-in timeline editor, automatic
spotlight effects on every click, a movable webcam bubble, beautiful
backgrounds, and one-click MP4 export — so you go from recording to
ready-to-share in minutes.
WHAT IT DOES
• Record any Chrome tab, window, or full screen
• Camera bubble — add your webcam as a circular overlay, and reposition,
resize, or remove it AFTER recording
• Voice narration — record your microphone and tab audio together
• Auto spotlight — your clicks become smooth zoom-in effects that
highlight exactly what matters
• Built-in timeline editor — trim, adjust spotlight blocks, tweak cursor
overlay, all non-destructive
• Backgrounds & browser frames — gradient or solid-color backgrounds
with a browser chrome frame for clean, professional demos
• Recordings library — every recording is auto-saved on your device, so
you can reopen and re-edit it anytime
• Export to MP4 in one click — processing runs locally,
nothing uploaded
HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the extension icon → turn on mic and camera if you want them
2. Choose what to capture (tab, window, or screen)
3. Record naturally — click wherever you want spotlight effects to appear;
pause and resume anytime
4. Edit in the built-in editor — trim, reposition effects, drag your
camera bubble into place, pick a background
5. Export to MP4 — ready to share in seconds
KEY FEATURES
✦ Auto Spotlight — Every click becomes a smooth zoom effect that draws
attention to what matters. Record naturally; the extension handles
the cinematography.
✦ Camera Bubble — Your webcam records as a separate track, so nothing is
baked in: drag it to any corner, resize it, make it round or square,
or turn it off entirely — all after you've stopped recording.
✦ Timeline Editor — Non-destructive editing: trim your recording, add
or remove spotlight blocks, adjust zoom level and position.
✦ Backgrounds & Frames — Wrap your recording in a browser frame with
a gradient or solid background. Looks polished without any design work.
✦ Local & Private — Nothing ever leaves your device. No account required,
no cloud uploads, no data collected. Recordings, editing, and export
all run entirely in your browser.
✦ MP4 Export — High-quality 60fps export in the format you need,
in one click.
