Many appreciate the quick capture and sharing capabilities, along with features like automatic recording saves and small file sizes, which contribute to a smooth and professional experience. The quality of recordings, even on free plans, is frequently noted as excellent, making it a highly recommended tool for both personal and professional use.

Great application. I like that it keeps the file sizes small. I just wish I had a more powerful laptop that wouldn’t lag so much while recording. I tried using the windows snipping tool for recording... See more

Hi Joe,

The recorded video can have a high bitrate depending on the chosen quality setting, with bitrates up to 10 megabits per second. Please note that the edge node for a specific region will cache the content, so the first viewer in that area may experience some delay or buffering. To improve the viewing experience, we are planning to release a video-on-demand transcoding feature that will offer multiple renditions of the same video recording. This will help reduce buffering by allowing the player to switch between different quality levels based on the viewer's connection. However, please be aware that this will be offered as a premium service.

ScreenRec is a very handy tool

ScreenRec is a very handy tool. Taking screenshots and recording videos is super easy, and what I like most is how quickly I can share them with others. The interface is simple, lightweight, and doesn’t slow down my system. It also saves recordings automatically, so I don’t have to worry about losing files. For everyday use—whether it’s work, teaching, or personal tasks—it’s reliable and efficient. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a fast and straightforward way to capture and share content.

Hi there,

This usually happens when the app's Instant Share Link feature is toggled ON in its settings (cogwheel) and it uploads multiple records simultaneously. To stop it, simply head to settings > Instant share link > toggle Off and restart the app. The notification pop-ups will then stop.

If it's happening again and showing only a specific recording (look at the name shown/timestamp), find it in the app gallery and delete it (bin) to stop the pop-up showing up. You can preview the record (eye) and save a copy into a folder of your choice (down-arrow) before deleting it.

I was supposed to get a free trial until 2-23-2026 but my card was charged immediately, even before I had a chance to try the app to see if it is going to be the right one for me!

Hi Marie,

You will have been on the free Trial until the 23rd (for 30 days), but you bought the Pro plan on the same day as you registered your account (24th of Jan). Buying a plan activates the same immediately. There's no payment card requirement for the Trial. You specifically clicked the button to *Buy* a plan and completed the checkout.

You can use the app on a free account as well, and switch to it, when you log in via https://member.screenrec.com/panel where you can also cancel your subscription in Settings > My Subscriptions

Please contact us via https://screenrec.com/contact if you need help with anything else.
