Online screen recording is capturing what happens on your screen through a web service, without installing separate software.

Online Screen Recording

Online screen recording runs through a website, so you can record your screen from any computer with a browser and no download. The recording is usually saved online, ready to share as a link.

It suits quick captures and machines where installing a program is not an option.

For example, you record a short screen walkthrough from a borrowed laptop and share the link right away.
