Record your screen and webcam in Edge without uploading

Many online recorders upload your video to their servers. If you'd rather keep the file on your own computer, Edge can record it directly.

Option 1: in the browser, nothing to install

1. Open Brimreel Web in Edge.
2. Choose Screen, Webcam or Screen + webcam, and tick Microphone if you want your voice.
3. Press Start. Edge asks what to share: pick a tab, a window or your whole screen. Tick "Share tab audio" for tab sound.
4. Press Stop, preview it, then Save WebM. The file goes to your Downloads folder.

Before recording, you can check your devices with the free webcam and mic test.

Option 2: the Brimreel add-on

The Brimreel add-on lives on your toolbar, records with no time limit and can include tab or system sound in Edge. Brimreel Pro ($9 once) adds MP4, 1440p/4K, 60 fps and a webcam bubble.

Tips

• WebM plays in Edge, Chrome, Firefox and VLC. Most editors import it.
• Close notifications before sharing your whole screen.
• Long recordings are held in memory until you save, so save soon after stopping.
