Install the Chrome extension
Add the Vidler extension to Chrome, connect it to your account, and record any tab, window or your whole screen from the toolbar.
The Vidler Chrome extension records any tab, window or your whole screen without opening the recorder page first. Its controls stay out of your video, and the link is ready the moment you stop. It needs Chrome 116 or later on a computer.
Install it
Go to Settings → Chrome extension, or open the Help menu (the question mark at the top right) and choose Get the Chrome extension. Select Add to Chrome on that page.
Connect it to your account
The extension signs in separately from the Vidler tab, so you can disconnect it on its own.
- Pin the Vidler icon to Chrome's toolbar: select the puzzle-piece icon, then the pin next to Vidler.
- Select the Vidler icon and choose Connect account.
- A Vidler tab opens with Connect the Vidler extension. Select Connect the extension.
- When you see Extension connected, you can close the tab.
Check it's working
Reload Settings → Chrome extension. The Status section shows Installed in this browser with the version, and Connected as your email address.
- Not detected in this browser: the extension isn't installed in this browser, or the page needs a reload.
- The sign-in for your email expired: select Reconnect extension and connect again.
The extension's recording options start from your defaults in Settings → Recording.
Start recording
Select the Vidler icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+V (Option+Shift+V on a Mac). Chrome keeps the extension's shortcuts; to change them, open chrome://extensions/shortcuts in Chrome.
