Online Video Recorder: One Studio for Camera, Screen and Voice Features
EchoWave's recording tools are used by founders, teachers and content teams worldwide
One studio, four modes
Four recorders would be three too many
EchoWave's online video recorder is one browser studio with four ways to point it: camera, screen, screen with a camera bubble, or microphone only. Whichever mode the job needs, the controls stay the same: a 0, 3, 5 or 10 second countdown, pause and resume, up to 60 minutes per take, live device switching and crash recovery that saves your work in chunks as you go. Frame the shot as 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16, set camera quality to 480, 720 or 1080p, and read from the teleprompter in any mode. Download the take free with no account, or save it to the editor, where screen and camera arrive as separate editable layers.
-
1 recorder
Camera, screen, screen plus camera bubble and mic-only share one studio
-
60 minutes
Per take in every mode, and the clock stops whenever you pause
-
0 / 3 / 5 / 10s
Countdown choices, from instant start to a ten-second settle-in
-
4 aspects
16:9, 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 framing, chosen before you press record
What you get
The same studio behind every mode
Shared controls that work identically wherever you point them.
-
Camera, Screen, Both or Mic Only
Pick the mode the job needs: a straight camera take, a capture of a display, window or tab, a screen recording with your camera in a movable bubble, or audio alone.
-
Countdown, Pause and 60-Minute Takes
Count yourself in with 3, 5 or 10 seconds, or skip the countdown entirely. Pause for interruptions and resume without restarting; every take holds up to 60 minutes of rolling time.
-
Aspect and Quality Set Before You Roll
Frame the take as 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, or 1:1 and 4:5 for feeds, and set camera quality to 480, 720 or 1080p so the file matches its destination.
-
Switch Devices Without Stopping
Plug in the good microphone halfway through, or jump to another camera, and the recorder follows the new device live instead of making you scrap the session and start again.
-
Crash Recovery in Every Mode
Every mode saves to your browser in chunks while you record. If the tab crashes or closes by mistake, the studio recovers the take instead of handing you a blank slate.
-
Teleprompter in Any Mode
Load a script into the floating teleprompter, set the scroll speed and a font size from 18 to 72px, and read while you record. It sits near the lens and never appears in the capture.
-
Takes Arrive as Editable Layers
Save a screen-plus-camera take to the editor and the screen, the camera and the background land as separate layers, so you can move the bubble or crop the capture after the fact.
-
Free Download, No Account
Stop recording and the download button is right there: your raw file, free, with no watermark and no signup. Saving into a project is optional and only happens when you choose it.

Online video recorder FAQ
How do I record a video online?
Open EchoWave's recorder in any modern browser and pick a mode: camera, screen, screen plus camera, or microphone only. Allow the permissions that mode asks for, choose your devices, set an optional countdown of 3, 5 or 10 seconds and press record. Pause and resume as needed, for up to 60 minutes of rolling time per take. When you stop, download the file to your device for free, or save it into the editor to trim, caption and export. Nothing to install, no account required.
Which recording mode should I choose?
Match the mode to the job. Camera mode suits talking heads: intros, updates, video messages. Screen mode captures a display, window or browser tab for demos and tutorials. Screen plus camera adds your face in a movable bubble, tucked in a corner, enlarged or side by side, which is the natural pick for walkthroughs and presentations. Mic only records narration and podcast audio with no video at all. You are never locked in: the same studio, settings and limits sit behind all four.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No on both counts. The recorder runs on your browser's built-in capture APIs, so there is no download, no extension and no desktop app. It also works anonymously: open the page, record and download without signing up. An account only enters the picture if you want to save takes into the EchoWave editor, keep projects in the cloud or export a finished edit.
How long can a single recording be?
Up to 60 minutes of recorded material per take, in every mode. The limit counts rolling time only, so pausing to answer the door or reset a demo costs nothing. For longer sessions, record in chapters and stack the takes on the editor timeline; they line up end to end and export as one video.
What quality and aspect ratios can I record in?
Camera capture offers 480p, 720p and 1080p, with a mirror toggle for a natural preview. Before recording you can frame the canvas as 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, or 1:1 and 4:5 for feed posts. In screen modes the capture follows whatever display, window or tab you share. If plans change later, the editor can resize and reframe the take for a different platform.
Where do my recordings go before I save them?
They stay with you. While you record, the studio writes the take to your browser in small chunks, which is also what makes crash recovery work. Press download and the file transfers straight to your device; nothing has been uploaded at that point. Uploading only happens if you choose to save the recording into the EchoWave editor, where it becomes a cloud project you can reopen on other machines.
Can I change my camera or microphone mid-recording?
Yes. Device switching is live, so you can jump from the laptop webcam to an external camera, or from built-in audio to a USB microphone, while the session continues. The take carries on with the new device rather than forcing a restart. It is a small thing until the good mic finally connects three minutes into a take you have no intention of redoing.
Is the online video recorder free, and is there a watermark?
Recording and downloading are free with no account, and the raw file you download carries no watermark. Editing in EchoWave is free to start too: free exports render at up to 720p with a small watermark, while paid plans remove the watermark and unlock 1080p, then 4K with 50 and 60fps on higher tiers. A common path is to record and download raw takes free, and pay only when you need clean high-resolution exports of a finished edit.
