Create software demos, tutorial videos, presentations, and more with Descript’s online screen recorder. Designed to simplify screen recording, Descript eliminates the need for extensive post-production. From editing out awkward pauses to getting a transcript for your screen recordings, all you need to do is click a button.
Record audio and video of your presentation while Descript automatically transcribes the entire thing with unmatched accuracy. Then edit your video recording by editing your transcript, removing filler words, and making your presentation airtight.
To record your screen, click Start recording in a Descript project to add your screen recording as a new layer, or open the quick recorder with the CTRL/CMD+Shift+2 shortcut. Choose what to include in your screen recording: your camera, mic, system audio, and/or part or all of your display screen. Click the gear icon to further customize settings like countdown timers, transcription language, resolution, and more.
While screen recording, Descript will capture everything on your screen including your mouse. If you included them in the recording, your camera, microphone, and system audio will also be captured as separate layers so you can edit or remove them individually after. Press the Stop recording button when you’re done recording.
Once you’re done screen recording, Descript will generate a transcript you can trim and cut to edit your video, or right click to remove filler words and pauses. You can move, add, or edit elements and layers using the canvas. When you’re done editing, press Publish to download your screen recording, or generate an embed code or video link to embed it on your website or share it with your team.
