What Capture does differently
No limits on the free recorder
Record for as long as your computer has room, as many times as you like, with no watermark. The online recorder saves every second, so a closed tab can be recovered.
Your video stays yours
Recordings are made and kept in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you create a share link, and that copy is deleted when the link expires.
Made for quick how-tos and bug reports
Read from a teleprompter that floats above your other windows, then trim the result, save it as MP4 or turn a few seconds into a GIF for a ticket or a chat.
Screenshots too
The same extension takes full page screenshots, and captures long chats and feeds that scroll inside a page as one image.
When Loom may suit you better
- Your team watches, comments on and reacts to each other's videos in one shared library.
- You want viewers to watch every video by link without you thinking about it.
- You want the Loom AI features of its Business + AI plan on your videos.
Questions and answers
Is Capture's screen recorder really free?
Yes. Recording, the webcam bubble, the teleprompter, trimming and MP4 or GIF downloads are free, with no account and no watermark. Capture Pro adds share links for videos.
Can I share a recording as a link like Loom?
Yes, with Capture Pro ($10/month or $100/year). The video is uploaded as an MP4 of up to 95 MB, and the link stops working after 1, 7 or 30 days. Without Pro, download the MP4 and send it however you like.
Can I record my screen and my webcam at the same time?
Yes. Turn on the camera and pick a corner and size, and your webcam is drawn into the video. You can also record just the camera.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The online screen recorder at capture.appzlr.com/record/ works in Chrome and Edge. The Capture extension adds recording from the toolbar and scroll recording of whole pages.
