How to screen record on Windows with Chrome

First-time setup on Windows

1. Install Zoomr

   and pin it in Chrome's toolbar.

2. Allow your mic and camera

   if Chrome doesn't pick them up: Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone → turn on Microphone access and Let desktop apps access your microphone. Do the same under Camera.

3. Check your shortcuts

   at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. By default: Ctrl+Shift+E record, Ctrl+Shift+Y pause, Alt+Shift+S mute, Ctrl+Shift+S screenshot.

Recording

1. Open the page

   and press Ctrl+Shift+E.

2. Zoom

   with a right-click; hold the right button for a deep zoom. On a touchpad, tap with two fingers or press the bottom-right corner.

3. Draw

   by holding the left button and dragging.

4. Blur anything by hand

   with Alt+click.

5. Stop

   with Ctrl+Shift+E.

Windows-specific tips

• With display scaling at 125% or 150%, recordings are still sharp: Zoomr records the tab at its real pixel size.
• On laptops, plug in power before long 60 fps recordings.
• Notifications from Windows and other apps never appear, because only the tab is recorded.
