Native Video Recorder
Native Video Recorder supports recording and saving video locally, without an internet connection.
Native Video Recorder (or NRec for short) is a video application that uses your Chromebook's webcam to locally record and save video in .webm format. It offers video resolutions of 320x240, 400x300, 640x480, 800x600, 1280x720, and 1920x1080, though not all resolutions are supported on all devices.
NOTE: NRec is only designed for use on Chromebooks. Problems found on non-Chrome OS devices should not be reported as bugs.
NRec Usage:
1. Press the Record button to start recording.
2. Press the Record button again to stop recording.
3. Press the Save Video button to save the recorded video to your machine.
If you select a resolution that is not supported, the video area will turn black. Please try a different resolution.
This app relies heavily on the getMedia tutorials and samples at WebRTC.
If you encounter issues with this app, please email me the details. This is a first release and I welcome feedback and error reports.
Version Info:
0.0.2 Adds unique file names on save. Filenames start with nrec- and then append year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds. Example: nrec-20160612-221512.webm

very bad. full of bugs!
It was not what i was looking for and i cant find how to delete it
Every resolution is a black screen and it wouldn't record. Uninstalling immediately
didn't do anything
This is more of a question. I got the app and there are two buttons on the bottom. Save Video And stop/start video. Can I pause the video?
ITS TRASH AND IT WONT GET OFF MY COMPUTER
It's alright, I just got it so it might turn out to be terrible once I get going more in but we'll see. On the other hand, it's fairly good. My only complaint is how you can't see your recording afterwards.
I tested this a couple times for short videos and it worked. Then I used it to record a board meeting and it failed. The application crashed, but it looked like it was still recording. I was using a chromebook.
You can't actually save the videos you record, so I don't understand what the point is of making the app in the first place
I would enjoy this app much more if I could actually save videos. I have a google chromebook. The "save video" button did not work.
it used to be good untill you cant save the videos anymore
it stoped saveing videos
it used to be good - saved videos, you could stop and start recordings, but now it doesn't save the videos anymore. terrible. if you make an app for customers to use, make a good app. no one wants their time wasted on things that don't work.
Will not save the video to my chromebook. Save button doesn't work.
For some reason, videos won't save. Please fix it .
used to work, no longer allows saving of videos. save button does not do anything. it was a great app, please fix it. I'm using a samsung chromebook3
I have made a lot of videos with this, my name is Donovan Worland and I have a Youtube Channel and I almost exclusively used this software on my Chromebook. The only trouble I've had (and forgot to ask about) is how to use an external mic, it doesn't seem to jive with the software on my ASUS Chromebook. Awesome software. Simplicity.(Edited) Yeah, it doesn't save consistently, it needs to be updated.
try to download it it says is there but its not
it wasn't the best recording tool i used
The video quality was fine- but the buttons on the bottom (such as the STOP RECORDING button) did not work for my computer. It must be something about my computer or software because it seems to work fine for others. I would not recommend on an Acer Chromebook- although it might just be mine that has troubles.
It's So cool! This is a best recording app irl!
Does exactly what it says
Excellent app!!! No problems found.
It would be awesome if you can add more features to this app.
Awesome. I use it for study too
it really redcordes trust me
when ever i did a video it came out with bad graphics i tired to clean the cam but nope it was the app im pretty shur
my videos wont go into the editor
This App works Great and I can't save enough good things about Native Video Recorder. I would love to see the option to record the Screen as well for Video responses and screen captures that records on the Local disk but for now I am very very very happy with this App! 5 Stars it should be on every Chromebook!
My sound does not work with the video software witch suucckkksss but hopefully i can get it fixed but other then that i love the video recorder
This was the most horrible extension I have ever used
Simple and easy to use. Preview window could be larger but still works great!
have had for a week and still finding its limits and have tried using with drone streaming.1st try shut the app down but 2nd showed that their seem to be an adjustment made that allowed the app to run smoother.having a blast with this app.Thank You!
how do you delete this app
format is useless for other editors
It records voices so clear but it would be amazing if it had a pause button
really a lovely webcam video recorder with a no. of resolutions to configure
AMAZING!!!
I don't like this app because of its quality. The recording screen is very small, and doesn't support the higher quality. I don't recommend it.
It does not work now I tried to do vlogs at like 30 minute video and it won't save it will say chrome extension 0KB error :( I wish you could fix it because it WAS okay.
didnt work
I have lost tons of footage because it sometimes randomly reports “download unsuccessful” when I try to save. The downloads screen reports, “Failed - No file”.
horrible
Works great! Just what I needed.
it doesn't upload on yt x-o
This app is so awesome but does it upload videos to youtube. Thanks for creating such a cool app.
i love this app 5 stars :)
Its okay because sometimes you need to pause it but ya can't
It glitches way to much and it sounds horrible...
Worked fine when I tested it but it failed to save video when I actually needed it too. Use with caution.
