Screen Recorder Pro documentation
Everything you need to install, use, and master the extension. Most users are recording within 30 seconds - but the docs are here for when you want to go deeper.
Where to start
If you've never used the extension before, start with Install & first recording. Two minutes and you'll have a finished WebM on your disk.
If you already have it installed, jump to the section that matches what you're trying to do:
Recording modes
Screen, tab, area, camera - when to use each.
System audio
Capture sound from Chrome and your apps, cleanly.
MP4 / GIF export
Convert WebM to MP4 or GIF without uploading.
Keyboard shortcuts
Start, stop, pause - without leaving the keyboard.
License activation
Activate your Pro key in 30 seconds.
Troubleshooting
Fix permission prompts, double dialogs, and more.
The 60-second tour
Screen Recorder Pro is a Chrome extension. Once you've pinned it to your toolbar, here's the whole flow:
- Click the extension icon. The popup opens with four recording sources.
- Pick your source (screen, tab, area, or camera). Toggle microphone or system audio if you want them.
- Hit Record. A 3-second countdown gives you time to switch windows.
- A floating REC widget appears on every tab - pause, resume, or stop from anywhere.
- Click Stop. Your recording downloads automatically as a WebM. Pro users can convert to MP4 or GIF on the spot.
Pro tip: the area picker stays active mid-recording. Drag a frame around exactly the panel you want to show.
What's new in v1.0.52
- In-popup license activation field (no more "where do I enter my key?")
- Self-healing REC widget - stop button always works, even after Chrome puts the service worker to sleep
- System audio modal redesigned and slimmed down
- 9 new recording settings: bitrate, fps cap, resolution, filename template, auto-stop timer, indicator anchor, and more
