Cloud library and share links

Uploads captures to a cloud account where they can be organized and shared by link, or saves them to the local disk instead.

Team workspaces

A workspace gives members shared access to videos and images. Workspace Lite is free for up to 5 members; Workspace Premium removes the limits.

Screenity

Free Chrome recorder

Records a tab, a window, a custom area or the whole screen with camera, microphone and tab audio. It needs no sign-in, has no recording limit and saves locally or to Google Drive.

Drawing, blur and cursor spotlight

While recording you can draw with a pen, arrows, shapes and text, blur anything private on the page, and dim everything except the cursor.

Scene-based editor

A Pro video is built from separate scenes that can be recorded on their own and reordered. Scenes can be split, trimmed, cut in the middle and sped up.

Auto-zoom from clicks

Clicks made while recording with the extension become zoom keyframes in the editor. Each one can be retimed, removed or added by hand.

Word-by-word captions

Audio is transcribed on Screenity's own servers in Europe and each word is highlighted as it is spoken. Captions can be styled and edited, and are English only for now.

Layouts, overlays and share links

Animated screen and camera layouts, browser and device frames, text and arrow overlays, backdrops and music. Pro shares a public or private link and exports MP4.
