Screen and camera recording
Autessa Video Creator is a screen and camera recorder that runs in your browser. Press Set up sources, choose a screen, window or tab, allow your camera and microphone, check the live preview, and press Start recording. Your screen, your face and your voice are captured together in one video.
The problem
A quick walkthrough should not need a production setup
Most things people want to show (a bug, a design, a process, a dashboard) are faster to show than to write. But a typical recording means a separate app, a webcam overlay to configure, an export, an upload and a link to chase. Video Creator puts the whole loop on one page: capture, review, save, share.
What you get
- Records your screen and your camera at the same time, composited into a single video as you record.
- You see a live composite preview, with your camera bubble in place, before you press Start recording.
- Works with whatever the browser lets you share: an entire screen, one app window or a single browser tab.
- Your microphone is always recorded, and screen or tab audio is added when you turn on Share audio.
- When you stop, the Review step opens straight away so you can trim, crop and title the video before it is saved.
How it works
How does screen and camera recording work in Autessa Video Creator?
Step 1. Set up sources
Open Record and press Set up sources. The browser asks what to share and for access to your camera and microphone.
Step 2. Check the preview
The stage shows the live composite: your screen with your face in the bottom-left bubble. Press Cancel to start over.
Step 3. Start recording
Press Start recording. A REC badge shows the elapsed time against the 5-minute maximum.
Step 4. Stop and review
Press Stop (or stop sharing). The Review step opens with the trim and crop editor and the title and description fields.
Step 5. Save draft
Press Save draft. The video uploads as a private draft and its page opens, ready to publish or share.

FAQ
Questions about screen and camera recording
Can I record one browser tab instead of my whole screen?
Yes. The browser’s share picker lets you choose an entire screen, a single window or one tab, and only that is recorded.
What happens if I close the share prompt?
Nothing is recorded. The stage shows what went wrong in plain words, and you can press Set up sources to try again.
Where do I record?
In any modern desktop browser with screen sharing. Grant screen, camera and microphone access once, and you are recording.
