What is an AI screen recorder?

An AI screen recorder records your screen and webcam, then cleans up the recording for you. In Pictory you record in the browser, and the transcript editor removes filler words and silences, adds captions and applies your brand, so a rough take becomes a video you can share.

Pictory’s Smart Screen Recorder starts from the Home page. Choose Record, pick what to capture, and when you stop, the take opens in a preview you can play, retake or share as a link.

The guide to recording your screen or camera shows each screen.

In the browser

Screen recording software that edits the recording

Pictory records your screen, your webcam or both. The webcam sits in a corner of the screen, an audio meter shows your level and a timer counts the take, so you can use it as a screen recorder with webcam and edit the result in the same place.
