Do I need an account to record?
No. OhRec does not require sign-up, login, or an email address. Open the app or website and start recording.
How do I start my first recording?
Choose screen, tab, or webcam, enable mic or bubble if needed, pick quality, then press Start recording. Your browser or OS will ask for capture permissions the first time.
What file format are recordings saved in?
Recordings export as WebM video files — efficient for web playback and supported by most modern editors.
What can I record — screen, tab, or webcam?
All three. Screen captures a display, Tab isolates one browser window, and Webcam records your camera.
Can I capture system or tab audio?
Yes when your browser or OS supports it. Enable System audio in setup alongside the microphone for voiceover plus app or tab sound.
What is the presenter bubble?
A corner camera overlay on top of your screen capture. You can choose position, Minimal/Pro/Brand style, Circle or Squircle shape, and Small/Medium/Large size before recording. While recording, drag the inner-corner handle to snap the bubble larger or smaller — the file follows the live size.
Can I switch between screen and camera while recording?
Yes. Use switch view on the recording controls to cross-fade between screen-focused and camera-focused layouts without stopping — one continuous file.
How do chapters work?
Add markers during recording to label key moments. During playback in your library, jump straight to any chapter timestamp.
Where are my recordings stored?
In this browser's local storage on this device (IndexedDB). Download WebM files if you want a copy on disk or on another machine.
Are recordings uploaded to the cloud?
No. OhRec does not upload your videos to our servers. Everything stays on your device until you move or delete it.
How do I delete a recording?
Remove it from the Recordings library in your browser. Clearing browser site data also removes web recordings.
Will my recordings sync across devices?
No automatic sync. Recordings stay in the browser where you made them. Download or copy WebM files manually if you need them on another machine.
Is there a desktop app?
Mac and Windows apps are in development and not available for download yet. OhRec runs fully in your browser today — record, manage your library, and edit in Studio without installing anything.
Which browsers support the web recorder?
Recent Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers work best for screen and tab capture. Safari and Firefox support varies — try your target browser before an important session.
Can I edit recordings in OhRec Studio?
Yes. Open any recording from your library and choose Edit to trim, split, add overlays, adjust audio, and export a new WebM — your original file stays unchanged. See the Studio docs for the full workflow.
Does Studio upload my videos?
No. Studio projects and exports stay on your device in browser storage, just like recordings. Nothing is sent to Peacae or Wekify servers unless you download or share a file yourself.
How do I export vertical video for Shorts or Reels?
Open Studio, set the preview aspect ratio to 9:16, reposition your content in frame, then export with the Vertical preset. See the vertical video guide in the docs for step-by-step instructions.
Is OhRec Studio free?
Yes. Studio is included with OhRec at no cost — no account, subscription, or upload required. It runs in your browser alongside the recorder.
Why is the browser asking for screen or mic permission?
Your OS requires explicit permission before any app can capture the screen, microphone, or camera. OhRec only uses them while you record.
Should I record in 1080p or 720p?
1080p is sharper for demos and UI detail. 720p produces smaller files and can feel smoother on lower-powered machines. Turn off heavy overlays for maximum screen-only quality. Webcam recordings use the camera's native resolution rather than stretching a lower feed.
What does Low light do?
Low light brightens your webcam in a dim room. It is off by default and only applies when you record webcam or have Camera on. It uses a mild exposure lift when the camera supports it, otherwise a small brightness adjustment in the file. It is not noise reduction — a lamp in front of your face still looks better.
