Key Technical Features
getDisplayMedia: This is the heart of the tool. It prompts the user to select a specific window, tab, or the entire screen.Audio Merging: The script checks if you want your microphone included. If so, it uses
getUserMediaand merges the audio tracks with the screen's video track into a singleMediaStream.High-Quality Codecs: It attempts to use
video/webm; codecs=vp9, which provides high resolution with smaller file sizes.State Management: The UI updates dynamically (Start -> Record -> Stop) to prevent errors like trying to record without a shared screen.
Critical Notes for Users
Browser Permissions: The browser will ask for permission twice if you enable the microphone (once for screen, once for mic).
HTTPS Requirement: Due to security policies, the Screen Capture API only works on
localhostor sites served over HTTPS.Local Environment: If you are testing this locally, just double-click the
.htmlfile; it will work on most modern browsers.
Would you like me to add a feature to record specific regions of the screen or perhaps an "Instant Mute" button for the microphone?
