Browser screen recording and screenshots
Capture a screen or camera in the browser, record screenshots, add annotations while capturing, and share a link when the recording is ready. The browser recorder can be tried without an account.
Skreno
Skreno is a browser-based screen, screenshot, meeting, and video editing tool for engineering, support, product, and design teams. It adds transcripts, AI summaries, timestamped comments, and optional console and network evidence to recordings, with local editing and exports available through Studio.
Browser recording with transcripts, editing, and technical context
Skreno is a browser-based screen and meeting recording platform for turning visual explanations into shareable, reviewable evidence. It records screens, screenshots, camera footage, and supported meetings, then attaches transcripts, AI summaries, timestamped comments, and—when configured—console and network data to the recording.
Its main use is shortening the path from “something went wrong” or “here is what I mean” to a usable record. Engineering teams can inspect the click, request, response, and console event at the moment of failure; support teams can ask customers to record a problem; and teams can edit, caption, annotate, and share the result from the same browser-based workflow.
Recording, evidence capture, and editing tools
Console and network evidence
When enabled through the extension, Skreno synchronizes console output, uncaught errors, network requests, request status, timing, response bodies, clicks, and navigations with the recording timeline. An SDK offers similar reporting for a user's own site without requiring reporters to install the extension.
Transcripts and AI analysis
Generate transcripts and captions, AI summaries, and AI bug reports based on the recording and captured logs. The engineering workflow is designed to return no finding when a session appears clean rather than force an issue.
Browser editing studio
Studio runs in Chrome and Edge and edits locally in the browser. It supports separate screen and camera tracks, multiple layouts and backgrounds, timeline trimming, silence and filler-word removal, captions, audio processing, manually placed zooms, and local exports up to 4K.
Meeting recording and review
Record Zoom, Meet, and Teams calls through a visible notetaker that joins from a meeting link, then save the recording, transcript, and summary to the library. Timestamped comments, replies, reactions, and share links support review.
Requests, guides, and workflow handoff
Use step-by-step guides, request and testimonial videos, Trello pushes, and an MCP server that lets supported AI assistants search recordings, read transcripts and logs, and perform actions such as commenting, sharing, or pushing to Trello.
Practical ways to use Skreno
Create reproducible engineering bug reports
Record a bug with the browser extension so the video link carries the relevant console output, failed request, status, response body, browser, operating system, viewport, and action timeline. Engineering teams can review the failure at the exact point in the recording and send a Trello card with the evidence attached.
Collect clearer customer support reports
Send a recording request to a customer instead of asking for a written description. The customer can show the issue in context, while support keeps the resulting recording attached to the case or builds a library of recurring issues.
Explain product and design decisions
Capture a product walkthrough or feedback explanation, then add captions, trim pauses, place zooms, blur sensitive areas, and choose a layout before sharing one updated link. This is suited to product and design reviews where a visual explanation is faster than a long written brief.
Document meetings and calls
Submit a Zoom, Meet, or Teams link for a visible notetaker to join. The call recording, transcript, and AI summary are then available in the library for review and follow-up.
Build guides and collect video responses
Turn a recorded task into a numbered, annotated guide, or request a testimonial video with consent recorded on the video. Teams can also expose recordings to assistants through MCP for searching and follow-up actions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Combines screen recording, screenshots, meeting capture, transcripts, summaries, comments, and technical logs in one library.
- Console and network events can be synchronized to the video playhead, including request status, timing, and response bodies for supported engineering workflows.
- Studio is included on every plan and supports local editing and downloads up to 4K without a render queue or metered downloads.
- Supports several handoff paths, including share links, Trello, request and testimonial videos, step-by-step guides, and MCP access for AI assistants.
Cons
- The most useful technical capture is conditional: console and network data on arbitrary sites requires the browser extension, while the SDK is intended for a site the user controls.
- Several capabilities are plan-dependent. The free plan has finite recording, AI, screenshot-retention, and meeting allowances, while higher capture quality and some editing tools require paid plans.
- Studio currently runs in Chrome and Edge, so the available browser support is narrower than a general desktop editor.
FAQ
Is Skreno available on a free plan?
Yes. The free plan is permanent and does not require a credit card. It includes 30 recordings in total, recordings of up to 15 minutes at up to 720p, and recordings remain available while the account is open. Deleting a recording restores a library slot.
What setup is required to record?
For screen and camera recording, Skreno provides a browser recorder and extension. The editor runs in Chrome and Edge, and a recording can be tried in the browser without an account. Console and network capture on arbitrary sites requires the extension because a web page cannot read another page's console. For a user's own site, the SDK can capture equivalent evidence without an extension.
What does a Skreno recording contain?
Recordings can include the video, transcript, AI summary, comments tied to timestamps, and—when enabled—console output, network requests, clicks, and navigations synchronized to the video. The editor can export finished videos locally, including exports up to 4K; download access is not metered.
Can Skreno record online meetings?
Yes. A meeting link can be submitted so a visible Skreno notetaker joins the call. The resulting recording, transcript, and AI summary are saved to the library. The pricing page lists Zoom, Meet, and Teams recording with plan-dependent monthly limits.
Is the video editor included, and what are its limits?
Skreno Studio is included on every plan and runs in the browser, with rendering performed on the user's computer. Basic editing includes trimming, captions, layouts, audio controls, and manually placed zooms. Find zooms and blur regions require Pro or higher, while drawing directly on the video requires Max.
