Web Recorder
The Web Recorder opens your web app in a clean cloud browser and records it scene by scene, with DemoTake's AI Director at the wheel or with you driving. The take lands in your cloud library, ready to edit, export and share.
What it is
The Web Recorder is part of DemoTake Web. Instead of recording a window on your Mac, it runs your web app in a cloud browser. Nothing is installed and nothing on your own machine is touched, so you can keep working, or record from a computer that isn't a Mac.
The result is a normal take, with scenes, a trace of clicks, typing and results, a presentation pointer and a planned camera. It uses the same format as the Mac app, so everything in the editor works the same way.
Every signed-in account can make one free take with the Web Recorder. For more takes, subscribe to Director, Team or Enterprise. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of browser minutes, and the recorder shows how many are left. See Editions and plans.

Click Start Browser. When the AI Director drives, it uses AI credits from your plan as it goes. The free take includes a small allowance.
Passwords typed in Live View are masked in every render. Still, record with test data you don't mind showing.
During the session
The cloud browser streams into Live View, with the scenes and a live event stream beside it.
A dry run to check that every scene works. Nothing is kept.
Each scene is captured with a structured trace of clicks, typing and results. With AI Director drives, the scenes run one after another; with You drive, scenes appear as you record.
Need a 2FA code or a login only you know? Press Take Over, do it in Live View, then Hand Back. If the AI Director gets stuck, it asks you to take over.
Press Finish when the last scene is done. DemoTake processes the take and opens it in the editor.
Stopping before you press Record ends the session without a take. Sessions also have a time limit; if you reach it, start a new session to keep going.
Your free take
Signed in without a subscription? Your account gets one free take, recorded with the Web Recorder like any other. No card is needed.

- 2 minutes of recording. The free take has up to 2 minutes of recording in total, retakes included. You can start over before the take is made, but the 2 minutes are shared, so a retake uses the time that's left.
- A countdown while you record. The recorder shows how much of the 2 minutes is left. When time is up, recording stops and DemoTake makes the take from what you recorded, then opens it in the editor.
- Short sessions. A free cloud browser closes after 10 minutes, or sooner if nothing happens in it. Have your web app's address and your goal ready before you start the browser. Free cloud browsers are limited to a few a day on each network.
- A quick security check. Before a free cloud browser starts, DemoTake runs a quick check to make sure you're a person. It usually passes on its own.
- One per account. Once the take is made, it's yours to edit with every tool, export with the "Made with DemoTake" watermark and share with a link. Recording a second take needs a subscription.
Subscribers aren't affected by any of this: they record with their plan's browser minutes, and their exports carry no watermark. When you subscribe, the free take becomes a normal take. The free trial has the full list of what the free take includes.
Edit, export and share in the browser
The finished take is saved to your cloud library in DemoTake Web and opens in the full editor: story-aware zooms, the presentation pointer, redactions, captions and the AI command bar. Export 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 MP4s right in your browser, and create share links from any export.
Try the editor with the sample take
Every signed-in account, with or without a subscription, can open a sample take, labelled Sample, and try every editing tool without recording anything. It doesn't use up your free take. Edits to the sample stay in your browser. Its exports download to your computer and carry the watermark unless you subscribe; they aren't uploaded or shared.
Open it on your Mac
Web takes and Mac takes live in the same account:
- In DemoTake Web, open a take's menu and choose Open in DemoTake for Mac.
- In the Mac app, click Open from Web… in the sidebar's Cloud section.
Takes synced from your Mac show up in DemoTake Web too. See Sync between Mac and DemoTake Web.
The Mac app also has its own Web Recorder in the sidebar under Cloud. It starts the same kind of cloud browser session (choose Agent Drives or I'll Drive, then Start Session), and when the session finishes the take downloads into your Mac library and opens in the editor.
