What is Camera Recorder?

A camera recorder captures video from your webcam using the browser's MediaDevices API and MediaRecorder API, producing a downloadable video file without any server upload.

How It Works

getUserMedia() requests camera access, the stream is displayed in a <video> element, and MediaRecorder captures it to chunks. On stop, chunks are combined into a Blob and offered as a download.

Common Use Cases

  • Recording quick video messages
  • Testing webcam functionality
  • Creating video content without installed software

Technical Details

Uses navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: true }) for stream, MediaRecorder for capture, Blob construction from arraybuffer chunks, and URL.createObjectURL for download. Format: WebM (browser-dependent codec).

How to Use

  1. Click Start to enable camera
  2. Click Record to begin recording
  3. Click Stop to end and download

Privacy

All processing happens in your browser. Your data is never uploaded to any server.

FAQ

Is the video uploaded anywhere?

No. Video is recorded entirely in your browser using the MediaRecorder API. The recording stays on your device until you download it.

What format is the recording?

WebM (VP8/VP9 codec), which is the standard format for browser MediaRecorder. Most modern players and browsers support WebM.
