Why no install matters more than it sounds

Most screen recorders ask for a desktop app or a Chrome extension before you can record a single second. On a personal laptop that is a minor delay. On a work machine it can be a hard stop, because installing software needs approval you are not going to get before the meeting you are trying to skip.

Extensions also see a lot. A recording extension typically asks for access to your tabs and browsing, which is a large amount of trust to hand over for something you use twice a week.

Rekkko uses the screen sharing that is already built into your browser, the same permission your video calls use. You grant it per recording, and you can see exactly what is being shared while it happens.

How it works without installing anything

The browser does the capture. Rekkko just gives it somewhere to go.

  1. 1

    Open the recorder

    Sign in free and open the recording page. Nothing downloads, nothing installs, no restart.

  2. 2

    Pick what to share

    Your browser asks whether to share your entire screen, one window, or a single tab. Choose, and recording starts.

  3. 3

    Stop and share

    Stop recording and the video is saved to your library with a link ready to copy. Trim it first if you want.

What that gets you

Works on managed laptops

If your browser can join a video call, it can record. No admin rights, no software request, no waiting.

No extension permissions

Nothing sits in your browser watching tabs between recordings. Permission is granted for one recording at a time.

Same on any desktop OS

Mac, Windows or Linux, the recorder is the same page. Nothing to keep updated on each machine.

What the browser can and cannot capture

Sharing a tab captures that tab, including audio playing inside it. Sharing a window captures that application even if you move other things in front of it. Sharing your entire screen captures everything you can see, so close what you would rather not send.

System audio behaves differently per browser and per choice. Tab sharing usually offers to include the tab's sound, while full screen sharing may not offer system audio at all depending on your operating system. Your microphone is always available either way.

The honest limits

Better you read this here than find out halfway through a recording.

  • Free includes 100 videos of up to 10 minutes each, kept forever. Founding Member includes unlimited videos of up to 2 hours each.
  • A single recording can be up to 2 GB. Long recordings at high resolution get there faster than you would think.
  • Recording works in desktop browsers only. Phones and tablets can watch, but not record.
  • You need a free account to record. The people you send the link to need nothing at all.

FAQ

Questions about recording in the browser

Which browsers work?

Recent desktop Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave and other Chromium browsers. Safari support for screen capture is more limited, so Chrome or Edge is the safer choice.

Can I record on a phone or tablet?

No. Mobile browsers do not offer screen capture, so recording is desktop only. Watching a link works fine on any phone.

Do I need to install anything to watch?

No. A recording link opens in any modern browser, with no account and no player to install.

Does it record system audio?

It can include the sound from a shared tab. Full screen system audio depends on your browser and operating system, so your microphone is the reliable route for narration.

Is a browser recording lower quality?

No. The browser captures at your screen resolution. Sharing a single window or tab usually looks sharper than a whole 4K screen scaled down.

What if my browser tab crashes mid recording?

You lose that recording, which is true of any recorder. For very long sessions it is safer to record in a few parts.

Do I still need an account?

Yes, a free one, so your recordings have somewhere to live and only you can manage them. Viewers never need one.

Ready to record something?

It runs in your browser. Nothing to install, no card, and the link works for anyone you send it to.
