Capture, brand, share videos with a built-in screen recorder

Using a high-quality screen recorder is an easy, time-saving way to create, edit, and share engaging screencasts, presentations, and tutorials. A screen recorder allows you to record your computer or mobile screen, yourself, or both at the same time.

With Clips, Zoom’s built-in screen recorder lets teams share information internally and externally through video. It's perfect for async communication across distributed teams, as well as sales, HR, support teams, and other professionals who need to easily create screen recordings.

To screen record yourself and screenshare at the same time in Zoom Clips, simply navigate to the Clips tab and click “New clip”. By default, on desktop the new clip will be set to record using the “Screenshare and video” setting. If you only want to record yourself, select “video only”. If you only want to record your screen (not your webcam or microphone), select “screenshare only”. You can also adjust the settings to record your computer audio.

Screen recorder tools that allow you to record yourself and your computer screen simultaneously using a facecam and mic are a great way to narrate the video and provide additional context about what you’re sharing on the screen.

Common use cases for screen capture videos include using video as an alternative to in-person daily standups to deliver project status updates; asynchronous communication when working with groups across time zones; ad-hoc recordings for difficult-to-explain concepts; product demos for customers; company announcements; and employee onboarding guides.

Yes. Whether you're operating on Windows, macOS, or Linux desktop computers, or an iOS or Android mobile device, Zoom's versatile screen recorder adapts seamlessly, offering an easy-to-use tool for creating professional-looking screen capture videos. The adaptability of Zoom Clips means you can record your screen and webcam directly from any compatible device without compromising on quality.

If you have a Zoom Workplace account, the built-in screen recorder app may be available on the device you use to regularly sign in to access Zoom. Clips is enabled in accounts by default. If you don’t see Clips as an available option in the menu, check your account settings or contact your admin.
