Terms of use

Last updated: 2 September 2026. Replace the jurisdiction in the Governing law section below before publishing.

1. Agreement

Using this website means you accept what follows. If any part of it does not suit you, the remedy is simply to stop using the site — there is no account to close and no data of yours held anywhere to retrieve.

2. What is on offer

A web page that asks your browser to capture a screen, window or tab and writes the result to a file inside that browser tab. No registration, no payment, no storage on our side. The how it works page describes the mechanism in detail.

3. What you record is on you

You alone decide what appears on your screen while capturing, and you carry the legal consequences of that decision. Recording other people, whether in a video call or otherwise, is governed by the law where you and they are located, and in many places requires their knowledge or consent. Confidential material belonging to an employer or client may be off limits regardless of what any law says. Content protected by copyright remains protected when captured.

Because captured footage never reaches us, we have no ability to review it, moderate it, or intervene in how it is used.

4. Acceptable use

Do not use this site to break the law, to capture people who have not agreed to it where agreement is required, to gather someone else’s confidential information, or to circumvent protection on material you have no right to copy. Do not attempt to disrupt the site or the people using it.

5. No warranty

The site is provided as it is, without guarantees of any kind. Screen capture depends on your browser, your operating system, your hardware and permissions outside our control, and any of them can fail. A capture may not start, may end early, may lose sound, or may produce an unusable file. Treat any recording that matters as something to verify before you rely on it, and keep an independent copy of anything important.

6. Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for loss arising from use of this site — including a recording that fails, is corrupted, is lost when a tab closes, or captures something you did not intend. Nothing here removes rights that cannot lawfully be removed, and consumer protections in your country continue to apply whatever this document says.

7. Availability

The site may be changed, interrupted or withdrawn at any time and without notice. Nothing you create here is stored by us, so there is nothing for you to lose if that happens beyond access to the tool itself.

8. Ownership

The design, code and written material on this site belong to their authors. Your recordings belong entirely to you; we claim no interest in them and never possess them.

9. Trademarks and other people's names

The guides on this site name browsers, operating systems, meeting platforms and editing tools — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Windows, macOS, Android, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, VLC, HandBrake, OBS Studio and others. Those names, and the logos and product identities attached to them, belong to their respective owners.

They appear here for one reason: advice about screen recording is worthless without saying which software behaves which way. That is nominative use — naming a product in order to describe it truthfully. It implies no affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or partnership in either direction, and none of those companies has reviewed, approved or contributed to anything published here.

No third-party logo, icon or brand styling is reproduced anywhere on this site. Where a statement about another company's product turns out to be wrong, we would rather correct it than defend it — write to contact@screen-recording-software.com.

10. Open-source software

This site is built with open-source software. Preact, which is MIT-licensed, is compiled into the JavaScript your browser downloads; its copyright notice and licence text are published in full at /licenses.txt, as that licence requires. Build tools such as Vite, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS are used to produce the site but are not distributed to you, so they are not reproduced there.

The written material, design and application code on this site are ours and are not covered by those licences.

11. Copyright complaints

We host no user recordings, so there is nothing here for a copyright owner to have taken down — a file captured with this tool exists only on the device that made it. If you believe material published on this site itself infringes your copyright, write to contact@screen-recording-software.com identifying the work, the page, and your contact details, and it will be reviewed promptly.

12. Changes to these terms

These terms may be revised. The date at the top marks the current version, and continuing to use the site after a revision means you accept it.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [insert your country or state], and disputes fall to the courts there. Replace this placeholder before publishing — it is the one clause that cannot be written generically.
