RecordRTC is a server-less, client-side JavaScript library for recording WebRTC audio, video, screen, and canvas media streams directly in the browser. It wraps the MediaRecorder API with cross-browser support for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and Safari, and includes a companion Chrome extension for screen recording.

Use cases

• record audio and video from webcam and microphone in the browser
• capture screen activity as a video recording from a web page
• record browser canvas animations including 2D and 3D WebGL content
• build a client-side screen recorder Chrome extension
• record WebRTC media streams to blobs for upload or download
• capture GIF recordings from a media stream in the browser

When to choose

• you need purely client-side media recording with no server component
• you want cross-browser recording support beyond raw MediaRecorder quirks
• you need to record screen, camera, microphone, or canvas streams in a web app
• you want a lightweight library with promise-based and callback APIs

When to avoid

• you need server-side or native desktop recording rather than in-browser capture
• you require guaranteed codec support across all browsers, since codec availability varies
• you need long-duration, high-reliability recording with advanced post-processing features
• you need active development and frequent updates, as the project is in maintenance mode
