Frequently asked
How do I screen record on a Chromebook?
On a Chromebook, ChromeOS has a built-in recorder: press Shift+Ctrl+Show windows, or open the Screen capture tool from the system tray (quick settings), then choose to record the full screen or a region.
The built-in tool is quick for short clips and lets you capture the whole screen or a selected area, with an option for microphone audio. It's handy for a fast capture, though it doesn't include editing or a webcam overlay.
For tab capture, built-in editing, a webcam picture-in-picture overlay, or a consistent workflow across devices, Sirvez is a free Chrome extension that runs natively on ChromeOS (anywhere Chrome runs). It records to your browser's local library first, adds microphone narration and cursor highlighting, and exports with no watermark or time limit.
Quick reference
Press Shift+Ctrl+Show windows, or use Screen capture in quick settings. Sirvez adds tab capture and editing.
