What our analysis found

Webcam + Screen Video Recorder Video Editor, used by 50,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2024.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate screen recorder with webcam overlay, video editing, and upload to the publisher's own domain ([domain withheld]). All outbound requests target the publisher's servers or well-known third-party libraries (InboxSDK, Google Analytics). The broad permissions are necessary for screen capture and authentication. No unauthorized data collection or malicious behavior detected. The manifest version mismatch between bundled (v2) and published (v3) with different permissions is a hygiene concern but does not indicate malice.
