How to screen and webcam record online

Step 1. Click on the screen and camera tool

Click on the record & create tab on the toolbar, then click on the screen and camera button.

A popup window will appear with permissions. Allow Clipchamp access to your camera and microphone if you haven't used our webcam recorder before. Click allow when ready to proceed.

Step 2. Record your screen and video

Select your microphone source, camera source and select speaker coach if desired. Click on the red record button to start recording.

Note: The screen and camera recorder lets you record up to 30 minutes in total. If you would like to record longer than 30 minutes, just create multiple screen and webcam recordings. There's no limit to the number of recordings you can create for free.

A smaller popup window will appear with screen recording options. Either record your browser tab, window, or entire screen. You will be able to see your webcam in the bottom left corner of the popup window. Once selected, click on the share button.

Note: This tutorial will display recording a Chrome tab only.

It's now time to record your computer screen and webcam. If you have selected to record a Chrome tab, you will automatically be taken to the tab in a full screen preview like this.

Once you are happy with your recording, click on stop sharing button.

Note: You won't be able to see your webcam while recording in the tab, window, or screen, but the camera recording is working.

Step 3. Preview and save your screen and camera recording

A preview of your screen and camera recording will appear. Here, you can watch your screen and camera recording with or without sound. Click on the retake recording button if you would like to redo your video, or click save and edit to return back to the editor.

If you want to abandon your video, click on the x button in the top right corner of the video. You will be presented with a new window giving you options to stay or exit.

Edit your screen and camera recording with special effects

Add your personalized brand kit 

Keep brand screen and camera recordings consistent and recognizable with the brand kit feature. Easily customize your videos by adding logo overlays, personalized color schemes, and brand fonts. You can even turn a logo into a video watermark by reducing the opacity.

Apply text and titles to your video

If you’re sharing your screen and camera recording to YouTube or a learning portal, start and finish your video with an intro or outro template. Add subtitles using autocaptions and on-screen text to make your screen and webcam recording more accessible.

Adjust colors and add filters to your webcam video

If the lighting wasn’t quite right when recording your webcam video, just adjust the colors with our video editing features on the property panel. Change your webcam video exposure, saturation, temperature, and contrast, or add unique filters like the VHSeffect.

Trim your screen recording video clips 

Just use the trimming tool to cut out unwanted sections of your screen or camera recording. You can also detach audio from video so you don't trim both media assets.
