No software download needed. Record and send videos right from Gmail!
Fully Integrated with Gmail
Screencast Recording for Gmail is fully integrated with your Gmail. Easily record your desktop and voice over with one click, then the video is automatically uploaded and placed in your Gmail message.
Captures Your Voice, the Computer Sound, or Both
Screencast Recording captures your voice from the active microphone, so you can record a voice over without any special setup. Switch on Computer sound to also record the audio that plays in the shared tab or screen, such as a video or a call. Each switch is remembered for your next recording.
Record Your Full Screen, a Window, a Browser Tab, or Camera Only
Before every recording you choose what to record: your entire screen, a single application window, one browser tab, or only your camera for a quick video message. The choice is one click away from the Screencast button in Gmail and from the extension icon in the browser toolbar.
Add Your Camera as a Bubble
Switch on Camera and your face appears in a round bubble in a corner of the recording, on top of what you are showing. Drag the bubble to the corner you want, or move it from the control bar while you record. Your viewers see you and your screen in one video.
Pause, Resume, and Finish From a Floating Control Bar
A small control bar stays on top of every window while you record. It shows the recording time and lets you Pause when you need a moment, Resume to continue the same video, and Finish when you are done. Nothing is captured while the recording is paused.
Rerecord in One Click
Not happy with the take? Click the video in your draft and choose Rerecord. A new recording starts right away with your saved options, and the new video replaces the old one in the same place in your email.
Record From Any Page, Not Only Gmail
Click the Screencast icon in the browser toolbar to record from any page. When you finish, the video opens on its own share page with a link you can paste anywhere, buttons to save it to Google Drive, Dropbox, or other cloud storage, and sharing to social networks.
Start or Stop With a Keyboard Shortcut
Press Ctrl+Shift+6 (on Mac Command+Shift+2) to start a recording from anywhere, even when Gmail is not open, and press it again to stop. The shortcut can be changed on the browser's extension shortcuts page.
Customizable Landing Page
Your video will be sent as a screenshot in your email message. The link will route to a custom landing page that houses your video. The landing page can be customized for message and color—and you can easily add branding features such as your company logo.
Send Videos With 1 Click
When you’re done recording your video, click “finished.” Your video will upload automatically into your Gmail message.
