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

To the amazing developers of ScreenRec ❄️☃️

໒꒰ྀི⁄ ⁄>⁄ ⁄ <⁄ ⁄꒱ྀྀ১ I’m honestly in love with ScreenRec!
It’s the sweetest app I’ve ever used for recording 💖

✨ Super easy to use
✨ Great storage
✨ No watermark, no time limit—just pure joy!

Unlike other popular apps that made me feel limited or stressed, ScreenRec makes me feel relaxed and happy. I’m so glad I found it, and I’ll keep it on every device I own (and share it with my friends too 😄).

I’m also really excited for future updates like:
🌥️ Cloud storage—even if it connects to something like MEGA
🔊 Separating audio from video during saving
🎮 Special features for gamers & VTubers (this is something I truly wish for 💕)

Please keep going! I’m cheering for you always 💕
This app is a forever favorite ❄️🎀

Amazing

I have been using this service for quite some time and I have always been very satisfied. It is simple and intuitive to use, and the feature for sharing videos via link is extremely convenient.

Pausing Screenrec

I've been using Screenrec for some time now, and although I enjoy the easy interface, I do think the fact that you cannot pause the recording is a glaring omission! After all, there are times when, through no fault of your own, you are disturbed mid-way through - someone at the door, for example, and so either you have to start all over again or stop the recording and do another!

I love how the app allows quick screen record…

I love how the app allows quick screen records. Sometimes I can't find the one built into my computer, but with this one it floats anywhere on the screen allowing a quick grab-n-go experience. I later can view and rename the clips. Very convenient. Very organized. I do recommend it.

Very Difficult to Uninstall

Worked okay, I couldn't remove the watermark, which was to be expected with a free app; however, when I went to uninstall, there was no uninstaller built in, and I had to force quit the app, and manually uninstall it through the command window.

Hi Silas,

We have these troubleshooting guides, in case of installation/uninstallation issues:

https://help.streamingvideoprovider.com/en/articles/12628431-how-can-i-resolve-common-installation-or-uninstallation-issues-with-the-screenrec-app

https://help.streamingvideoprovider.com/en/articles/12655466-how-to-uninstall-screenrec

It's definitely not intentional. The uninstaller can be blocked by an antivirus software or by system protection, as it's deleting from a system folder (%localappdata%) where the app's files are.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but...

I would love to give this app 5 stars because the app itself is good, but they have this extremely annoying policy where if you haven't used the app in 60 days they threaten to delete your account. They claim it's because they have limited server space but I don't buy it as a reason to do this every 60 days because there's no other free app that I use that does this, none at all, only screenrec. Every 6-12 months would be legit. Every 60 days? Nope. I think the real reason they do it is because they want you to "Take a screenshot or video, grab the shareable link and share it with someone" to "keep your account active" which is basically a trick to get you to share screenrec around for them. It's a marketing technique. Regardless, I find it irritating and will probably just let them delete my account next time.
I wouldn't have put this on trustpilot, I wanted to communicate it with them privately as feedback but they don't have a private feedback option and in fact give a link to their trustpilot themselves lol

Hi Moon Viking!

We do need the server space indeed, because of the large user base and vast amount of simultaneous uploads, not that we are complaining! :)

We'd hate to lose you, though, as we appreciate all of our users, especially when they enjoy using our app and find it worthy of 5-stars. Thank you for your feedback!

In order to keep your account, you need to create any NEW recording or screenshot, and click on the chain (share) link, to upload it to the Cloud. That's the coded condition for simulating activity, and you should do this at least once every 60 days, so you don't receive such activity notice emails. You don't have to *actually* share it with someone, and you can delete it right after.

Even if you have missed the deadline and your account gets deleted, you can re-register it, using the same email address, and we don't have any issue with that whatsoever. You won't lose any of your local recordings and gallery, and can log in to continue using the app as normally with the new account.

Apologies if that wasn't communicated clearly in the emails you've received!

You can contact us at info@screenrec.com or via the form in https://screenrec.com/contact/
