Video Screen Recording

Record your screen with Screendesk and share a single link with video and diagnostics.

Record a video of your screen with Screendesk.

You get one share link with the recording and debugging context.

Technical diagnostics included

When you record a video, Screendesk can include:

  • Console logs

  • Network requests

  • URL

  • Timestamp and timezone

  • Device, OS, and browser

  • Viewport size

  • Network speed

Share the link with an engineer or paste it into a ticket.

Start a recording

1

Open Screendesk

Click the Screendesk icon in your browser toolbar.

2

Select Video recording

Choose Video screen recording.

3

Pick what to record

Choose Tab, Window, or Entire screen.

4

Record and save

Reproduce the issue, then click Save.

Want a buffer before recording starts? Use Countdown timer.

Voiceover Recording

Add a voiceover to narrate what’s happening.

You can mute/unmute during recording and pick a microphone input.

Microphone permission

The first time you enable voiceover, your browser asks for microphone permission.

If you blocked it, update your browser settings and try again:

  1. Open your browser’s Microphone permissions.

  2. Remove Screendesk from the blocked list (or switch it to Allow).

  3. Start a new recording and re-enable voiceover.

Tab vs Desktop Recording

Screendesk can record a single tab, an entire window, or your full screen.

Tab recording

Tab recording only captures what’s inside that tab.

It won’t capture the browser URL bar or other windows (like pop-up login dialogs).

Window / entire screen recording

Window and entire screen recording captures the full window or monitor.

That includes browser chrome (like the URL bar).

If you interact with multiple tabs during the recording, Screendesk can include logs and requests for those tabs too.

Use this for cross-tab issues, multi-step auth flows, and multi-window repros.

Recording incognito tabs

Screendesk works in private browsing if you allow the extension.

See Incognito session.

After you save

If you want Screendesk to auto-open the share link after upload, enable View recording.
