Record internal audio from Chrome or Edge.
A lecture is playing in your browser. A chat app is open, Windows notifications are enabled, and another application may be making sound. You want the lecture in the file.
Per-App Audio Recorder captures the selected browser’s audio. Other applications and Windows notifications stay out when you use the selected-app mode. Save browser audio as MP3 for everyday listening or WAV for an editing workflow.
The browser is captured as a whole.
All tabs and windows in the selected browser are included. The recorder cannot isolate one tab. Pause or mute unwanted tabs, or use a separate browser for the audio you want to keep.
How to record browser audio on Windows 11 or 10.
- Play the audio in your browser. Open the lecture, webinar or other source you have permission to record.
- Select the browser in the recorder. The live level meter helps you confirm that the browser is playing. If it is not in the list yet, use the Other app picker.
- Choose MP3 or WAV and your output folder. MP3 at 192 kbps is the default. Add your microphone only if you also want your voice.
- Run the 5-second test take. It opens in your default player so you can check that the expected audio is present.
- Press Record, then Stop when you are done. Open the saved file from History.
You do not need Stereo Mix, a virtual audio cable, a browser extension or an extra audio driver. You keep hearing the browser through your normal speakers or headphones.
Keep a lecture. Catch a useful explanation.
For a lecture or webinar, start a normal recording and pause during sections you do not need. The pause is left out of the audio file.
If you are listening without recording the whole session, enable Pre-record first. It holds recent browser audio in memory. Ctrl+Alt+M saves that buffer and the next 3 seconds as a clip, so a useful explanation can still be kept after you hear it.
MP3 for listening. WAV for editing.
Choose MP3 at 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps when you want a compact file to listen to later. Choose 16- or 24-bit WAV when you want an uncompressed file for an external editor.
The recorder captures audio only. It does not save the lecture video, slides or screen, and it does not transcribe or edit the recording.
Check the source before a long recording.
DRM-protected audio may come out silent. A silent test can also mean the source was not playing or its sound came from a different process. Use the test take to check the source rather than assuming every browser sound can be recorded.
Record only what you have the right to record. Follow the course, webinar or publisher’s rules. Recordings are saved locally to your chosen folder.
