# Screen recording in Microsoft Edge

> Edge screen recording, which matches Chrome closely because both are built on Chromium.

Edge is built on Chromium, so screen capture behaves almost identically to Chrome, including the parts other browsers lack.

## What Edge supports

Everything Chromium offers: whole displays, individual windows, browser tabs, pausing part-way through, and the same WebM container Chrome writes.

Audio follows the Windows rule — a shared tab carries its sound anywhere, while whole-screen sound is available only on Windows.

Because the engine is shared, anything that works in Chrome works here, including switching the shared source part-way through without breaking the file.

## Small differences from Chrome

The picker is styled differently and the audio checkbox sits in a slightly different place, but the capabilities are the same. Edge on macOS has the same system-audio limitation as every other browser there.

Edge adds an "Improve your web experience" setting that can slow the first load of a page; it has no effect on recording itself.
