Cap - Screen Recorder & Screen Capture Chrome extension security report

Cap is the open source screen recorder for Chrome. Record your screen, browser tab, window, camera, microphone, and system audio, then share a video link the moment you stop. Cap uploads while you record, so your recording is ready in seconds without a long export step. Built for async work, product demos, bug reports, tutorials, customer support, code reviews, onboarding, sales walkthroughs, design feedback, and quick updates that are easier to show than explain. THE SCREEN RECORDER FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK Cap makes it simple to capture what you see, explain what you mean, and share it with anyone. Click the Cap icon, choose what you want to record, press start, and keep working. When you stop, your recording is already in your Cap workspace with a shareable link ready to paste anywhere. RECORD AND SHARE IN SECONDS The Chrome extension brings Cap’s Instant Mode directly to your browser. Your video uploads while you record, so there is no waiting around when you finish. Just stop the recording, open the Cap link, and share it with your team, customers, students, clients, or community. WHAT YOU CAN RECORD • Current browser tab • Full screen • Single window • Camera-only video • Microphone audio • System audio where Chrome supports it • Webcam overlay for personal walkthroughs BUILT TO BE YOURS Cap is designed around ownership, transparency, and control. It is fully open source, so you can inspect how it works, contribute to the product, or self-host the platform. Use Cap Cloud, connect your own S3 bucket, or keep your workflow inside infrastructure you control. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE CAP Open source, end to end Cap is transparent by default. Inspect the code, contribute features, or self-host for complete control over your recording stack. Instant links Cap uploads while you record, so your share link is ready the moment you stop. Paste it into Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion, email, docs, or wherever your work happens. Your storage, your rules Use Cap Cloud, connect your own S3 bucket, or self-host. Your recordings should belong to you, not be locked inside a closed platform. Async collaboration that actually works Comments, reactions, transcripts, viewer analytics, password-protected shares, custom domains, and team workspaces help turn recordings into useful conversations. Cap AI does the busywork Cap Pro can generate titles, summaries, clickable chapters, and transcripts for your recordings, so the work after recording is already started. A better way to switch from Loom Cap gives you fast screen recording, simple sharing, team collaboration, and a built-in Loom video importer while staying open source and ownership-first.
