Webcam Video
Record and save videos with your webcam
Record webcam video online, free — no install needed
This free online webcam recorder lets you capture video from your camera and microphone using nothing but your browser. There's no software to install and no sign-up, and because everything is processed on your device, your recording is never uploaded to a server.
It works in a simple way: the browser uses getUserMedia to access your camera and microphone, then MediaRecorder captures the footage. The first time you start, your browser will ask for camera and mic permission — just allow it. When you stop, you can preview the clip right away and save it to your device as WebM or MP4.
Use it to film a quick self-intro or message, test your camera before an online meeting or stream, or just check how you look on camera. It runs on any browser with camera support, on both desktop and mobile, and it's completely free.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my recording uploaded anywhere?
- No. Recording and saving happen entirely in your browser, so your video and audio are never sent to a server. Nothing leaves your device.
- Do I need to grant camera and microphone permission?
- Yes. The tool uses the browser's getUserMedia to access your camera and microphone, so you'll be asked to allow access the first time. Grant it to start recording; if you declined, you can re-enable it in your browser settings.
- What formats can I save in?
- You can save as WebM or MP4. Availability depends on your browser — Chrome and Edge support WebM, and MP4 works in some environments. If the selected format isn't supported, just try the other one.
- Is it free, and do I need to install or sign up?
- It's completely free with no app to install and no account required. Just open the page in your browser and start recording — there's no watermark either.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. It works on any up-to-date browser with camera and microphone support, including iPhone, Android and desktop. If your device has more than one camera, you can pick which one to use.
