Frequently asked
Does Tab Recording capture the tab's audio?
Yes, tab audio is captured using the Web Audio API, which records the audio stream that the tab produces at the browser level.
This means the recording picks up the correct audio regardless of your system volume setting. If the tab is playing a video, running a web app with sound effects, or producing any browser-level audio, it will be included. Audio from other tabs or other applications is not captured.
Quick reference
Yes. Web Audio API captures tab-level audio, independent of system volume.
