- No. Recording, preview, and download all happen entirely within your browser. Your video data is never transmitted to any external server.
- Q.Which browsers are supported?
- Modern browsers that support the getDisplayMedia API work well, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. Safari may have limitations depending on the version.

- Yes. Enable "Include Microphone Audio" to record your voice alongside the screen. System audio recording may be limited by browser constraints.
