Record your screen from the browser

Yes, basic recording is free and needs no sign-up. The number of recordings is unlimited; what is limited is length (up to 10 minutes each) and quality (720p at 30 frames per second), a small Sovrest watermark is drawn on the video, and the popup shows our own promo panel.

Pro starts at 149 rubles per month. It raises the limit to 60 minutes and up to 4K at 60 frames per second, adds camera recording, and removes both the watermark and the promo panel.

To your own computer: when you stop, the extension prepares the file, you press Download, and the browser opens its normal save dialog, pointed at your Downloads folder by default. There is no server anywhere in that chain.

You choose the format in settings: MP4 plays almost everywhere, WebM is smaller. You can also trim the recording inside the extension before you save it.

No, never. Capture, encoding, the watermark and the MP4 conversion all run inside your browser, the video is not transmitted, and Sovrest holds no copy of it.

The one network request the extension makes goes to sovrest.com/api/licenses when you activate, refresh or deactivate a Pro licence. Without a licence it never touches the network. There are no cookies, no analytics, no ad networks and no third-party SDKs.

Yes, both are free and both are toggles in settings. The microphone is on by default and system audio is off.

System audio is captured in screen and tab modes, and you need to tick "Share tab audio" in Chrome’s share picker, otherwise the browser hands over no sound.

No, it keeps going. Capture and encoding run in an invisible Chrome offscreen document rather than in the popup, so the recording survives tab switches and carries on while you work.

To stop it, open the extension popup again. When a recording hits the duration limit it stops on its own, and the file is not lost.

The watermark goes away with Pro: the free tier draws a small sovrest.com and t.me/sovrest mark on the video.

Pro adds no mark at all, and if you want one, you can upload your own PNG or JPG up to 1 MB and set its corner, size and opacity. That image stays on your device and is only drawn onto your own recording.

Yes, though both camera features are Pro. The dedicated Camera mode records the camera feed alone, while the camera overlay adds a small webcam window in the corner of a screen recording.

You pick the corner and the size of the overlay in settings. On the free tier both are visible in the interface but marked with a PRO badge.

Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS: this is a Chrome extension and it installs from the Chrome Web Store. Other Chromium browsers that can install Chrome Web Store extensions work too.

Firefox and Safari will not, since they use a different extension store. Phones are out as well: Chrome for Android and iOS does not support extensions.

Uninstall it like any other extension: right-click its icon in the Chrome toolbar and choose Remove from Chrome. That deletes every local setting and all licence data with it.

A Pro licence can be deactivated on this device from inside the extension, which frees the slot for another computer. Your recordings stay where they are: they are ordinary files in your Downloads folder, so delete them yourself if you want them gone.
