Can I record the sound from a tab?

Yes, on Chrome, Edge and Brave: switch on Tab Sound in the Record tab and a This Tab recording includes the audio playing in that tab. Firefox cannot capture tab audio.

Tab sound records what the page is playing, such as a video call, a demo with sound, or music, alongside or instead of your microphone.

  1. Pick This Tab as the source

    Tab sound comes from the tab being recorded, so it needs the This Tab or Custom (This Tab) source.

  2. Switch Tab Sound on

    The toggle sits under the device pickers. Leave the microphone on as well if you want to narrate over it.

  3. Record

    Both sources are mixed into the recording.

Desktop recordings

When you record the Desktop, the browser's picker has its own share-audio checkbox for a screen or a tab. Tick it there.

On Firefox

Firefox does not let extensions capture tab or system audio. Your microphone still records.
