JustRecordScreen: A Simpler Alternative to OBS

OBS Studio is powerful but complex. It requires a download, has a steep learning curve with scenes, sources, and encoding settings, and is overkill for most screen recordings. JustRecordScreen gives you one-click recording in your browser. No scenes to configure, no output settings to tweak, no software to install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is JustRecordScreen as feature-rich as OBS?

No, and that is by design. OBS supports live streaming, multiple scenes, custom transitions, and advanced encoding. JustRecordScreen focuses on one thing: quick, simple screen recording. If you need OBS-level power, use OBS. If you need a quick recording, use JustRecordScreen.

Can I live stream with JustRecordScreen?

No. JustRecordScreen is for local screen recording only. If you need to stream to Twitch or YouTube, OBS is the right tool.

Does JustRecordScreen support custom encoding?
