Vidyard for Chrome

Browser screen recorder with instant links

Description

Explaining a workflow means lining up three calendars for a call, or writing a doc with ten screenshots and eight arrows. Vidyard cuts that to one step: click the toolbar, record your screen with your webcam in the corner, and a shareable link exists the moment you stop — no export, no file transfer, nothing for the recipient to install.

It targets the sales, support and remote-work moments where showing beats writing. Afterwards you can see when the recipient opened it and where they stopped, which tells you where to pick the conversation back up.

Features



Screen and camera together: capture a full screen, a single window or one browser tab, with the webcam as a bubble in the corner — or record just one of the two.

Link on stop: recording uploads automatically and produces a share URL to paste anywhere, playable straight in a browser.

Viewer analytics: who opened it, how long they watched and where they dropped off, so follow-ups are informed rather than guessed.

Light editing: trim the ends, pick a thumbnail frame and generate an animated GIF preview so the first impression moves — no editor required.

Calls to action: embed buttons and forms in the video so viewers can book time or leave details without leaving it.

Integrations: insert video thumbnails directly in Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, HubSpot and Salesforce instead of bouncing back to a dashboard.

Free tier: personal recording and sharing are free, with paid plans lifting length limits and adding branding and team features.
