Screen & Sound Recorder

Record your screen together with computer sound and your microphone, even with headphones on.

Record your screen with your computer's sound and your microphone, even when you wear headphones. The macOS built-in screen recorder only records the microphone, so anything you hear through headphones is lost. Screen & Sound Recorder captures the computer's sound directly, mixes it with your voice, and saves a ready-to-share MP4 file. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD • Screen mode: the entire screen, a window or a single tab, with computer sound and your microphone. • Camera only mode: your camera and microphone, without sharing the screen. With the camera off, it records your voice as an M4A audio file. • A floating camera window in Screen mode. Drag it anywhere and resize it. It is part of the video when you share the entire screen. WHILE RECORDING • A 3-second countdown, so you can get ready. • The toolbar icon shows the running time. Click it to pause, resume, mute the microphone or stop. • Keyboard shortcuts: ⌥⇧R opens the recorder or stops, ⌥⇧P pauses or resumes. • Computer sound and microphone are mixed into one track, with a limiter so loud moments don't clip. • Quality: 720p, 1080p or Max. WHEN YOU STOP • The recording is saved as an MP4 file (H.264 + AAC) in a folder you name once inside Downloads. Chrome never asks where to save. • The Recordings page opens, so you can watch it right away, open it in QuickTime, show it in Finder, rename it or delete it. Renaming and deleting change the file too. • Long recordings are stored piece by piece, so they don't fill your memory. If the recorder window is closed by accident, the part recorded so far is kept. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your computer. No account, no upload, no analytics, no ads. REQUIREMENTS • macOS 14.2 or later and Chrome 141 or later. The extension is made for macOS. • Turn on Google Chrome in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, and under Microphone and Camera if you use them. • To play and rename saved recordings on the Recordings page, turn on "Allow access to file URLs" for the extension. The Recordings page has a button that takes you there. TIP With the microphone on and sound playing through the speakers, the sound can be recorded twice. Headphones give the cleanest result.
