Download Vidyard for Chrome (Windows) – Download & Review Free

Choosing a tool to record and share your screen activity can be very difficult, especially considering the plethora of professional apps on the market.

Acknowledging the versatility of Google Chrome, it’s no surprise that with the help of a few extensions, the Goggle-vetted browser can be a better screen recording tool than most other standalone solutions.

One of the best screen recorder solutions for Chrome

Because you may have been able to see how this is going on, Vidyard for Chrome is one such extension that provides you a very intuitive way to record and share your screen activity.

After installation, you will need to log in with your Google account. Click the extension’s small icon to the right of the Chrome address bar to access the sleek and clear GUI.

Powerful recording function at your fingertips

The first thing that’s obvious is that Vidyard for Chrome gives you three aptly named recording modes: Tab, Screen, and Cam Only. Conveniently, you can add your computer’s webcam or microphone input directly to the recording, making this extension ideal for recording instant video tutorials.

There are two more features that deserve your attention. All of your recordings can be accessed from the Videos section. Finally, the “Feed” section is where you can see how long a video was watched and who viewed it.

Easily manage, preview and share recordings from a new tab

To finish recording, just click the extension’s icon again (now with a small REC badge). You will be automatically directed to the so-called “Video Sharing Page” hosted in a new tab. There you can preview the video, rename it, email it using Gmail, copy the shareable link to your computer’s clipboard, and share it on some of the most popular social media services such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

In this section, you can also choose to permanently delete the video. This is the perfect time to point out that your videos will never expire, so, they will always be available, as the development team behind the extension states on their website. One more thing, in case you’re wondering, the recording limit is 1 hour.

Considering Chrome is your browser of choice, recording and sharing your screen activity is now easier than ever

All in all, Vidyard for Chrome is a very efficient extension that integrates so well with Chrome that it will make you forget about all other (basic) screen recording solutions.

The possibility to download and share videos directly to YouTube, and more options for organizing recordings are just some of the possible future improvements that, if implemented properly, will make Vidyard for Chrome even more laudable.
