This free online screen recorder kicks off the list because it’s arguably the most popular of the lot, and with good reason! With over 1000 successful recordings every month, you have to agree it’s a favorite of many an internet user. The website itself is clean and minimalistic, and you just need to click 2 buttons to start recording your screen. Just go here, and click on “Get Started”. Then click on “Record”.

Pros:

• The website is extremely user-friendly and you can start recording instantly; a single click is all it takes.

• The recorder has 3 main options you can use to record your videos, which just means greater variety for you.

Cons:

Cons:

• Videos must be saved to your device before they can be backed up to a cloud service.
