How to record your screen and share a link
This is a step-by-step guide to how to record your screen and share a link, from installing Klipr to the recipient watching your recording, with no video-editing software and no separate upload step anywhere in the process.
TL;DR: Install Klipr, press the capture hotkey, choose what to record, stop when you're done. Klipr uploads it to your own storage, transcribes it, and copies a share link to your clipboard automatically. Paste it anywhere.
Step 1: Install Klipr
Klipr runs as a native desktop app on macOS and Windows. Download it, install it, and sign in. It's free for personal capture, with no credit card required.
Step 2: Connect your own storage
Before your first recording, Klipr asks you to connect where your captures will live: your own Google Drive, or an S3-compatible bucket if you use one. This is a one-time setup step. Every recording after this uploads there directly; Klipr never holds the video bytes itself.
Step 3: Trigger the recording
Klipr's recorder is a single global hotkey, available from anywhere on your desktop, with no app window to find first. Pressing it opens a lightweight picker: record your full screen, a specific window, or a selected region, or switch to a voice note or screenshot instead.
Step 4: Record what you need to show
A small on-screen indicator confirms you're live. Walk through the bug, the feature, or the explanation exactly as you would in person. There's no length limit built around a "should be short" assumption, so record whatever the explanation actually takes.
Step 5: Stop and let Klipr do the rest
The moment you stop, Klipr starts uploading the recording to your connected storage in the background and begins generating a transcript. You don't wait for either to finish before moving on: a share link is copied to your clipboard automatically as soon as the klip is ready to open.
Step 6: Share the link
Drop it in Slack, an email, a GitHub issue, or a Claude Code or Cursor chat if you're showing an AI agent instead of a person. The link opens a viewer page, not a raw video file, with the recording and its transcript side by side.
What the recipient sees
Opening the link doesn't require an account. The recipient sees the recording, a speaker-by-speaker transcript running alongside it if there was more than one voice, and can leave a comment or voice reply pinned to an exact timestamp. If you recorded a screenshot instead of a video, they see the image with any annotations you pinned, and can comment on a specific spot the same way.
Recording a meeting instead of a walkthrough
The same hotkey works for capturing a live call: Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, or Webex. Klipr records the call without a visible bot joining as a participant, and automatically attaches the calendar context (title, attendees, agenda) to the recording alongside its diarized transcript.
Common questions
Does the recipient need a Klipr account to watch?
No. Anyone with the link can view and comment on a shared klip without signing up.
Where does the recording actually live?
In your own Google Drive or S3-compatible bucket, not a Klipr-owned store. See how your storage works for the full model.
Can I record just a screenshot instead of video?
Yes. The same hotkey flow covers screenshots and short voice notes, with the same instant share link.
