Google Chrome has become the best browser to use on a computer thanks to the numerous developers who create more and more particular and more powerful extensions. For example, recently, we talked about the extension to copy and paste text into images, which would be impossible to do without an OCR program.
In this case, however, we see an extension that allows you to record everything you see with Chrome in a video, with the additional possibility of including the video of yourself taken by the webcam .
It therefore becomes very easy not only to record live video from streaming websites, but also to record games in online video games by commenting on them in person, the so-called " gameplay "

1) The extension is not new, but has recently been updated with many more features.
It is Screencastify, free for Chrome that does not even require the registration of an account. After installing the Chrome extension and granting access, its icon will appear alongside the address bar in Chrome.
By touching the button you can immediately choose to register the desktop, record only one card or from the webcam.
Regardless of what you choose, you can record computer sounds or what we say into the microphone as audio, if you want to comment on what you are doing. If you record from the microphone input, you can move the volume slider to balance it properly. The image of ourselves taken by the webcam can be positioned in a corner, as happens in the professional videos of the Youtubers.
One of the main differences between recording the desktop and registering a Chrome tab is that in the first case you cannot use the tools to draw on the video . If instead you register a website from an open tab, you can also use a pen to highlight the viewer where to look, making everything very interactive.
Screencastify is free with a limitation on the length of videos which cannot be longer than 10 minutes. To remove this limitation and also have the option to save videos in Google Drive, you have to pay the one-off 20 Euro program.
2) If you want a similar but free solution, there is also Loom for Chrome, a free audio and video recorder that can be used by an extension button and which saves movies online and which also supports recording the voice from the microphone.
3) Another extension to record audio and video from Chrome is HYFY Screen Recorder which requires you to register an account and allows you to record 4 minutes in the free version.
4) Hippo Video can record videos by choosing the resolution, from 360p to 1080p. Recorded videos can be customized by changing their aspect ratio, resolution, webcam size (which can be added to the video), highlight, blurring of certain parts of the screen and more. The free plan allows you to record 3 videos per month.
5) Nimbuss is a video recorder for Chrome that also allows you to add a logo above and that includes editing tools and 4K video resolution, all for free. The main menu is customizable, so you can also add / remove options. Shortcuts can be configured to create shortcuts for various functions. Note that Nimbus also offers other products such as a web clipper and a clipboard app. All three apps share a common plan. So it is better if you go through what they offer.
6) Voice recorder for Chrome is an extension that allows you to record any audio source on your computer, including the sounds and music that you can hear on the internet.
7) Chrome Audio Capture is a Chrome extension that allows you to record the sound of any card, even when listening to streaming music from the internet. You can save the audio recording as an mp3 file.
8) Aperture - Simple Screen Video Recorder is a simple and free video recorder for Chrome (no audio), which saves videos in MP4 or in WebM format.
The video recorder can record in normal, high or high quality with much larger dimensions.
