A short intro clip for an application video, a testimonial, a "talking head" intro for a course: this tool records your webcam's picture and sound at the same time, with no software to install and no account. It uses the recording interfaces modern browsers already ship (getUserMedia + MediaRecorder) - the same technology video-conferencing tools build on, just recorded locally instead of streamed live.
Clicking "Start recording" makes your OWN browser - through its own trusted dialog - ask whether this page may access your camera and microphone. This page never sees that dialog and cannot bypass it - the decision is the browser's and yours. While recording, a mirrored live preview shows what the camera sees (like a mirror - only the preview is mirrored, the saved recording is not). Declining the prompt is a normal, expected outcome - not an error, just a message with the option to try again.
Recording runs entirely locally: every video chunk lands directly in your browser's own memory, never on a foreign server. When you stop the recording, the tool assembles the chunks into a WebM file you download directly and can preview beforehand.

In 3 steps
Click "Start recording".
Allow camera and microphone access in the browser dialog.
Stop the recording and download the WebM file.
Limitations: Output format is WebM (VP8/VP9 + Opus, depending on the browser) - no direct MP4 export from this tool (use the sibling tool "Convert video" for that). Needs a modern browser with MediaRecorder + camera/microphone access (recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox); if either interface is missing, the tool says so honestly instead of producing an empty recording. Camera and microphone are ALWAYS captured together (no silent-film-only mode). The recorded file stays in the tab's memory until downloaded - switching or closing the tab before downloading discards it. Camera recording works on mobile in principle, but is less reliable across browsers there than on desktop.
FAQ
Is my recording uploaded?
No. The whole recording stays locally in your browser's memory until you download it - it never leaves your device.
Why is the live preview mirrored?
So you see yourself like in a mirror while recording - more familiar than an unexpectedly flipped view. The saved file is NOT mirrored, it is the camera's unaltered picture.
Can I record just the camera without the microphone?
Not directly - picture and sound are captured together. To remove the sound afterwards, use the sibling tool "Remove audio from video".
Which file format comes out?
WebM (VP8/VP9 video, Opus audio) - the format MediaRecorder natively supports in common browsers.
Can I convert the WebM file to MP4?
Yes, use the sibling tool "Convert video" for that.
Do I need an account or a subscription?
No. No signup, no subscription, no time limit other than your tab's memory.
