Online screen recorder: demand and opportunity research

AltF Signals rates "screen recorder" at 74 out of 100 on AltFTool's own editorial opportunity scale, against no sourced search-volume estimate and high competition. AltFTool ships this: the Screen Recorder captures a screen, window or tab through the browser's own screen-sharing prompt, can pause and resume, and saves a WebM file (MP4 where the browser supports it) to your device. It does not record your webcam, edit or trim the video, or work in most mobile browsers.

Online screen recorder: questions and answers

Where does my recording go?

Nowhere but your device. The browser records into memory and the file is downloaded when you save it. AltFTool does not upload or store the video.

Can it record my voice as well as the screen?

It can include the audio that the browser's screen-sharing prompt offers, which is usually tab or system audio depending on your browser and operating system. It does not separately mix in your microphone, so for narrated tutorials check the result before relying on it.
