If you’re a Chromebook user, you’d know how vague and incomplete built-in apps are. In Chromebook, many important applications were absent. One of these apps was a screen recording application. So, Chromebook users had to use some third-party app for screen recording.
But now, the latest Chromebook 2021 is available with this feature and supports the built-in screen recording that you can use easily without needing to download a third-party app. This is a part of the latest Chrome OS update and hence works on every Chromebook if the device is updated to the latest version.
If you’re here to learn how to screen record on Chromebook without a third-party app, we are here to help. Let’s not keep you waiting.
Screen recording on Chromebook is now convenient and quick using the device’s built-in feature. We will explain two different methods to access the screen recording feature to use one according to your convenience. Let’s explore these methods.

When you’re done recording what you had to, just click on the red stop button that appears on the Shelf. As soon as you click this button, the screen recording will stop, and the file goes to the download folder.
This method is similar to the previous way for screen recording, but the process of opening the menu is different, i.e., through a shortcut.
Like the screenshots on Chromebook, the screen recordings are also automatically saved to the device’s clipboard, where you may copy and paste them to any other program or application you want. Nevertheless, the recordings are also saved in the videos folder. Follow these steps to open your screen recordings and view them.
It is important to note that screen recording won’t work with all apps on your Chromebook. Apps that are protected like Amazon Prime or Netflix. In this case, you will get an error message “can’t capture content” in the notification bar.
As seen in the method above, Chromebook will automatically save your screen recordings to the downloads folder as set by default. However, it is possible that your recordings aren’t being moved to the downloads folder; your Chromebook could have less storage.
