Record the video, not the whole screen

When the thing you want to share is a video already playing on a page, recording your entire screen captures everything around it as well. With the extension installed, hovering a video player shows a small VeoRec bar on it.

Record just the player

Click Record on the bar and VeoRec captures that video's picture and sound directly, with no share dialog, even if you scroll away. Stop, and it uploads like any recording, with a link, a transcript and a title.

Download a plain video file

When a site serves its video as an ordinary file, the bar also offers Download, which saves it with Chrome's own downloader. Chrome asks for the download permission the first time.

What it will not do

Protected videos (DRM), players that forbid it, and streaming sites such as YouTube are not downloadable, and protected or cross-origin videos cannot be recorded this way. The bar says so instead of failing silently.

Questions

Can I turn the bar off?

Yes, in the extension's settings. Every page follows the switch without a reload.

What does it cost?

Every new account gets 7 days of Pro free, no card. When the 7 days end without payment, the account is on Free. The Free plan keeps up to 10 videos (videos in the trash do not count), with recordings of up to 10 minutes in up to 1080p, AI transcripts and automatic titles; free videos carry a small VeoRec badge. If you already have more than 10 videos, nothing is deleted; delete some or upgrade to add new ones. Pro is $7.99 a month or $79 a year: unlimited videos, 200 GB of storage, recordings of up to 10 hours in up to 4K, no branding, view analytics, password-protected links, custom thumbnails, and AI summaries, chapters and translation. Pro and Business can add 100 GB of storage for $5 a month. Business is $24 per user a month (at least 2 users): everything in Pro, plus a team workspace with roles, invites and a shared library, and shared storage (unlimited, fair use: 500 GB per user).
