In previous years, Chrome OS lacked a built-in screen recorder, which forced users like us to go download third-party extensions or Android apps to use it. But it was clunky, a lot of steps, and it didn’t always work well, especially when done through Android apps. Thankfully, 2021 and Chrome OS 89<\/a> brought us a revamped screen capture menu, which took partial screenshots easier and also added in a native screen recorder. (Hallelujah!)<\/p>\n

This means that recording your best Chromebook’s<\/a> screen is easier than ever because it uses the same buttons and menu as taking a screenshot on Chrome OS<\/a> and gives us the option to record a single window or a custom area of the screen in addition to the good old-fashioned fullscreen recording. Here’s how to start and stop a screen recording on a Chromebook.<\/p>\n

How to record the screen on a Chromebook<\/h2>\n

If you want to take a video rather than a still screenshot, that’s easy enough to do on a Chromebook now that Chrome OS 89 has rolled out to everyone. Before Chrome OS 89, we had to rely on third-party Chrome extensions for screen recording, but now we’ve got it built-in.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Tap the time<\/strong> in the bottom-right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Tap Screen capture<\/strong> in the Quick Settings toggles. (Or press Ctrl + Alt + Overview (looks like []||)<\/strong> from any screen.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. Tap the camera toggle<\/strong> on the left-hand side of the Screen capture bar.<\/li>\n
  4. If you want to record your microphone, tap the settings gear<\/strong> on the right side of the bar.<\/li>\n
  5. \n

    Tap record microphone<\/strong> to toggle it on.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. To take a fullscreen capture, tap the plain rectangle<\/strong> next to the camera toggle.<\/li>\n
  7. \n

    Tap anywhere on the screen<\/strong> to begin recording after a 3-second countdown.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    To end your recording, tap the red stop icon<\/strong> in the dock next to the Totes document hub.<\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A notification will appear acknowledging the new recording in your Downloads folder and giving you a quick action to delete the video if you recorded it by accident. Chrome OS’s screen capture is a basic recorder, but for 90% of us, that’ll be enough, but if you need something with more options and tools, consider Screencastify<\/a>, which has both free and paid versions depending on how many of its features you need.<\/p>\n

    What to do with your screen recording<\/h2>\n

    Currently, Chrome OS screen recordings are encoded as WebM videos, which is a free video format<\/a> that Google sponsored the development of. It’s free and widely compatible with most web platforms since it’s royalty-free and was designed as an alternative to HTML5 media formats. In some rare instances where .webM files are not supported by a site, you can easily convert them over to .mp4 using free online services like CloudConvert<\/a>, but for basic editing and sharing, no conversion is required.<\/p>\n

    Google Photos is one of the pre-installed Android apps on Chromebooks for a couple of reasons, but the most important one is that the web Google Photos editor doesn’t support video editing yet; only the Android and iOS apps do. If you need to edit your screen recording, we have a lovely in-depth guide to using Google Photos’ video editor<\/a> that you can bookmark for use. You won’t need to use stabilization or color correction since screen recordings aren’t shot on a camera that tilts. Still, it’s good for extracting screenshots, trimming off the beginning or end, and adding a basic annotation or two.<\/p>\n

    If you run into “Problem loading video” issues with the local copy, upload your screen recording to Google Photos using the Upload<\/strong> button at the top of the app. This will let you edit it from your phone if you’re in a hurry \u2014 and it will make the video easier to share as you can just use the Google Photos link to share your screen recording anywhere.<\/p>\n

    I’m hoping Chrome OS eventually gets the option to save recordings as .mp4 instead of .webM, but for now, I’m just happy to have a Chrome OS screen recorder that’s built-in and can be activated in two clicks when a website is glitching \u2014 or when Chrome OS itself is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
