Recordings can be saved as either .mp3 or .wav files. Users will have the option to mute tabs that are currently being recorded. To begin recording on a tab simply click on the extension icon and use the interface or hotkeys to start and stop the recording. Once the recording is stopped or when the time limit is reached, a new tab will be opened for you to save and name your audio file. Make sure to save your file before closing the tab, otherwise the file will be lost! Check the options page for different output file formats and other features! If you enjoyed the extension, please leave a review on the extension page! Please report any bugs or suggestions using the support tab of the extension page.

  • (2024-05-17) Asuncion, Aprille Kris F.: useful. though sometimes encoding process does not start so i end up not being able to save the recording and the only option is to close it. like now.
  • (2024-05-16) Lisa Bartle: Works great for me. Not very fully featured, but it does exactly what I needed, so I don't care.
  • (2024-05-12) ThePhilBest: Just tried it. The window with the start and stop buttons completely disappeared at around 5 minutes into the playback that I was recording. So of course I didn't get to "stop" it where I wanted to, which was about 1 minute later. Thought I'd try again later. 1 hour later I came back to my computer and lo and behold, there was a new tab with the Audio Capture, 20 minutes long, and a "save" button, which of course I used. Then I played the file back with VLC; it was great for the first 30 seconds, then the speed doubled AND the sound went abominably scratchy.
  • (2024-05-10) robin floren: I recently started using an audio capture extension for my browser and I must say, I am quite impressed with its performance. The extension allows me to easily capture audio from any website or online streaming service that I'm using, without any hassle. The quality of the audio captured by the extension is top-notch. One of the best things about this extension is how easy it is to use. It seamlessly integrates with my browser and I can start capturing audio with just a click of a button. I also appreciate the fact that it doesn't require any complex configurations or settings, making it ideal for anyone who wants a simple and effective audio capture solution. Overall, I highly recommend this audio capture extension to anyone who needs to capture audio from their browser. It's a reliable, easy-to-use, high-quality solution that has made my life easier.

  • (2023-10-12, v:1.1.2) Alan Sargent: time limit unlimit?
    Really hope that there will be a workaround for the time limit. Want to use it for recording stream of several hours. Audacity can do that, but it can't ignore sounds or alerts from other apps. Even just dumping a sequence of 20 minute files would be OK, I can join them later myself.

  • (2023-05-07, v:1.1.2) Babak Kamali: Where are the output files?
    They are not in Chrome download folder if this is what you mean by download folder. I am not a newbie. I have been a programmer, project manage and CTO. If I can't find it easily, you should amend your documentation at least. I look forward to a response.

Y una pregunta que tengo es que si solo se graba el audio de un video que pongo o si puedo también grabar mi voy y hacer audios. Ya me diréis . Estoy interesada en grabar mi voz si no es posible por favor indicarme alguna herramienta que lo haga y si es de google chrome mejor. Gracias.

    Hello there! As many other users of your extension (which works really great when you don't forget to save...) I have forgotten to save the audio file. I have looked into the Cache folder of Chrome and it seems that I have located a file that could have the audio. Is it possible to encode it as the extension does? Thanks in advance!

    Hi I just started using the extension and it's been helpful. One thing though - when I accidentally close the window I am recording (which happens most of the times actually because I close the tab the moment a video conference ends), is there a way to autosave the audio for the closed tab? So far I have not been able to do it. Thanks.
  • (2020-08-17, v:1.1.1) Sandeep Chatterjee: Saving failed

  • (2020-05-20, v:1.1.1) Mark Guthrie: No sound
    This is probably my issue. I have a new chromebook. The recording is captured but no sound. I don't believe it is the replay as I can listen to YouTube, for example. Perhaps my microphone is off...but I don't know how to check.
  • (2020-05-19, v:1.1.1) Connor Dietrich: I am unable to save a cancel captures once I start.
    I am unable to save a cancel captures once I start. I can rarely ever actually capture an audio file. When the timer runs out on the capture I have to uninstall this extension to unfreeze it.
  • (2020-05-14, v:1.1.1) Sam Siegel: Ctrl + Shift + S to start capture on current tab
    I start the recording and then press, Ctrl + Shift + S to start audio capture. Unfortunately, Ctrl + Shift + S refreshes the Chrome tab and doesn't start Chrome Audio Capture. I am not fast enough to start the recording and then left-click on the extension to start the capture. Suggestions? Thanks
