Private screen recorder

A private screen recorder for browser work

Quick answer

TabCaster records the selected Chrome tab locally, saves the finished WebM file to Downloads, and avoids a required cloud upload. It is useful when the workflow contains customer, product, or internal data.

Who this is for

Built for a specific recording job

These pages are written for people deciding whether TabCaster fits a real workflow, not for generic screen recording theory.

Teams recording support cases, QA bugs, product demos, or internal workflows.

Users who want control over where the finished file is stored and shared.

Anyone recording pages that may contain sensitive data.

Workflow

Keep capture local, then choose where the file goes

Private recording starts before you click record: prepare the tab, remove unnecessary data, and capture only what needs to be shown.

  1. 1

    Use a test account or sanitized workspace when possible.

  2. 2

    Open only the tab you need and check the page for private fields.

  3. 3

    Enable blur for common sensitive patterns if you use Pro.

  4. 4

    Record and save locally, then share the file only through approved channels.

Why keeping the recording local fits approved storage workflows

Many recording workflows turn a private browser moment into a hosted video by default. TabCaster keeps the output as a local file first, which fits teams that already have approved storage, ticketing, or documentation systems.

Privacy

What local processing does and does not solve

Local processing means the recording workflow does not require sending the captured video to TabCaster's servers. It does not mean every shared file is automatically safe. You still control the final destination and should review recordings before sending them.

Limitations

What to know before recording

  • Local files can still be shared incorrectly after export.
  • Blur is a helpful safeguard, not a substitute for sanitized test data.
  • Managed Chrome environments may apply their own capture and extension policies.

Does TabCaster upload recordings to the cloud?
