YoRecord is a browser-based screen recorder that captures a tab, window, or full screen, with an optional webcam overlay, and adds AI-generated subtitles. It runs in the tab a user already has open, so there is nothing to install and no account to create. The recorder is free, with a small watermark on exported video.
The product is aimed at quick, practical videos such as bug reports, tutorials, demos, and team feedback. A finished recording can be downloaded as an MP4 or shared through a link. The company describes its approach as private by architecture, because recording, editing, and rendering happen on the user's own device rather than on a remote server.
Recording starts by choosing a tab, window, or screen. A webcam can be added as a floating bubble that can be dragged around the frame, or the webcam can be recorded alone. When the recording stops, the editor opens with the video already loaded, so there is no upload or processing queue between recording and editing.
In the editor, users trim dead air, speed up slow sections, and cut the video into chapters. AI subtitles are generated in one click and can be corrected word by word. Captions are burned into the export, so a tutorial still makes sense on mute. Only subtitle audio and shared videos leave the device, and recordings stay in a local browser library.
The core feature set is recording, editing, subtitles, and export in one tab. Recording supports screen plus webcam, merged automatically, or webcam alone. The editor handles trimming, speed changes, and chapters. AI subtitles are editable at the word level, which matters because automatic transcription often needs small fixes before a video goes to colleagues or customers.
Sharing and branding are the other main areas. Users can export an MP4 or create a share link, and Pro users can replace the YoRecord watermark with their own logo or a typed name or domain in a chosen corner. The branding setting is saved in the browser where it was set, so it needs to be repeated on another machine.
YoRecord is a browser-based screen recorder that captures a screen, tab, or window with an optional webcam bubble. It includes an editor and AI subtitles, and exports MP4 files or share links. It needs no download or account.
The free tier costs $0 with no credit card. Pro costs $4 per month or $29 per year. Posting about YoRecord on X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, or Reddit earns 3 months of Pro free on the monthly plan, after which it is $4 per month.
Yes. Recording, editing, subtitles, and MP4 export are free. The trade-offs are a small YoRecord watermark, 720p output, a 10-minute cap per recording, and share links that expire after 31 days.
No. It runs in the browser tab and recordings save to a local library in that browser. Pro is activated with a license key emailed by Polar after checkout, not with an account.
By default they stay on the user's device, since recording, editing, and rendering happen locally. Two actions send data out: AI subtitles send the audio for transcription, and a share link uploads that one video.
Yes. Because it runs in the browser, a Chromebook is enough. The site also lists desktop Chrome and Edge, and the pricing page lists Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Pro removes the watermark, lets users put their own logo on exports, produces video up to 2x sharper than the 720p free cap, and extends recordings from 10 to 20 minutes. It also keeps share links live while subscribed, up to 200 at a time.
The sources do not name any integrations. Output is an MP4 download or a share link that can be pasted into tickets, messages, or other tools.
