Help and answers

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about privacy, recording modes, browser support and downloaded video files.

Is Screenio free?

Yes. The current browser recorder can be used without an account or installation.

Are recordings uploaded to Screenio?

No. The current version processes recordings locally in your browser. Screenio's hosting infrastructure serves the application but does not receive the video file created by the recorder.

Can I record only my screen?

Yes. Select Screen only before starting the recording.

Can I record my microphone?

Yes. Select a mode that includes the microphone and approve the browser permission request.

Can I include my webcam?

Yes. Select Screen + webcam + mic. The camera appears as an overlay in the finished recording.

Does screen + webcam work in Firefox?

Yes. Firefox uses a compatibility mode for the webcam overlay. Keep the Screenio tab visible while recording so webcam frames continue updating. Screen-only and screen + mic are not affected. Chrome and Edge can use a background-safe webcam mode when supported.

Can Screenio record computer or tab audio?

Shared audio depends on your browser, operating system and the source selected in the browser's sharing dialog. Some browsers support audio for a shared tab but not for every window or display.

Why did I receive a WebM file instead of MP4?

Screenio prefers MP4 when the browser reports native support. When MP4 recording is unavailable, it uses WebM so the recording can still be created without server-side conversion.

Is there a recording time limit?

Screenio does not impose a fixed application limit in the current version. Practical limits depend on available memory, storage, browser stability and device performance.

Why does screen capture require HTTPS?

Screen, microphone and webcam APIs are protected browser features. Public deployments generally require a secure HTTPS context.

What should I do before an important recording?

Make a short test recording, confirm the selected source and audio, close unnecessary applications and ensure the device has sufficient free storage.

Does Screenio use analytics or advertising cookies?

Screenio uses Google Analytics to understand site usage and Google AdSense to support the service. Optional Google storage is denied until you accept it through the privacy choices shown on the site. Recording video and audio are not sent to Analytics or AdSense.

For browser permission or recording problems, make a short test recording, check the permission icon in the address bar, and confirm that the selected source includes the audio you need.
