Getting started
- Sign in to Clipchamp, choose screen recording from the record and create tab, and allow camera and microphone access when the browser asks.
- Pick the camera, microphone and what to record (browser tab, window or entire screen); turn on the audio sharing option for sound and stop sharing when done.
- Choose save and edit; the clip is added to the project timeline, where you can edit and export.
Decision points
- Consider it if you want to record from the browser without installing anything and edit in the same place.
- The docs say audio works only when recording a browser tab; if sound matters for window or whole-screen recordings, compare desktop tools such as OBS Studio.
Limits
- Per the docs, audio recording works only for browser-tab recordings; for a Chrome tab in the Windows app, open Clipchamp in Chrome instead of Edge.
- If you exceed the maximum recording time, the docs suggest taking several shorter recordings and combining them in the editor; recordings download as WebM.
- The free plan exports up to 1080p; 4K and premium assets are paid. Work or school accounts and personal accounts have different recording options.
