What our analysis found

WeVideo Screen & Webcam Recorder, used by 1,000,000 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 August 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate screen and webcam recorder published by a trusted company. All permissions are required for its core functionality: <all_urls> to capture any tab, scripting to inject recording tools, offscreen for media processing, and unlimitedStorage for video files. Network requests go only to first-party WeVideo APIs and well-known cloud storage services (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive). The CWS-disclosed data collection of personally identifiable information, authentication, and user activity aligns with the observed behavior. The ML risk score is low (0.00), and the third-party risk likelihood is due to good ratings, high user count, and publisher trust signals. The risk engine's flags are false alarms in this context.

Item	Type	Severity	Description
scripting	Permission	Critical	This permission allows injection and execution of JavaScript on any webpage. Rated Critical because it can modify page content, steal sensitive data, and inject malicious code into any site the extension has access to.
<all_urls>	Host	Critical	Broad host access — the extension can read/modify content on every website.
offscreen	Permission	High	This permission creates hidden browser documents with full DOM access. Rated High because it can run background operations invisibly, potentially executing malicious code without user awareness.

unlimitedStorage	Permission	Medium	This permission removes storage quota restrictions. Rated Medium because it can store large amounts of user data without limits, potentially impacting browser performance and storing extensive tracking data.
tabs	Permission	Medium	This permission enables tab management and monitoring. Rated Medium because it can track open tabs, access tab metadata, and monitor user browsing patterns.

Awesome!

Alin Vacian·1 Oct 2026

Hello WeVideo team! I would rate this 5 stars (★★★★★) because theres preset solid colored background you can choose from, along with the ability to choose your mic and cam! But the solid colored backgrounds update 1 frame late, which means if I use a solid color background, then if I make fast movements, the background will be going around me from the last frame! Not only that, but I just recorded what felt like a 10 minute long video, and when I went to end my recording, it said "Start New Recording" and I got so mad that I lost all my hard work! ★★☆☆☆ Edit: I was scrolling on the reviews, and I realized with the free plan, you can only record to up to 5 minutes long, srry, now I'm rating it ★★★★☆
