Zoomr records the browser tab you're on: what you see in the page, its sound, your cursor and clicks. Other windows, other tabs and the rest of your screen are never recorded.
Start, pause, stop
| Start / stop | Ctrl+Shift+E (⌘ instead of Ctrl on a Mac), or the popup's Record button |
| Pause / resume | Ctrl+Shift+Y (⌘ instead of Ctrl on a Mac), or right-click the Zoomr icon → Pause |
| Mute / unmute microphone | Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on a Mac) |
| Screenshot | Ctrl+Shift+S (⌘ instead of Ctrl on a Mac), or the popup's Screenshot button |
While recording, the Zoomr icon shows a timer. It turns orange in the last minute and shows II while paused. Time spent paused doesn't count.
Limits
- A recording can be up to 10 minutes. You get a warning in the last minute, and it stops and saves by itself at 10:00.
- Chrome doesn't let extensions record its own pages: chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, and Zoomr's own pages (popup, editor, settings, this help). Open a normal website instead.
If the browser crashes
Zoomr saves your recording to disk every second while you record. If Chrome or your computer crashes, the recording is rebuilt the next time Zoomr starts, with your voice and camera, and the popup says "Recovered".
