Show HN: I made a screen recorder available directly from the browser

I tried to record a chrome tab, but the behavior was weird. I first chose the tab I wanted to record, then it switched me to that tab with a bar at the top saying "stop".

I thought it's being recorded. After I recorded everything, I clicked stop and switched back to zest, I noticed that there is a "record" button.

It turned out that I need to select a tab, then switch back to zest and click record.

Hey bill, Thanks for your feedback. We know Zest behavior is a bit weird when you pick a tab. In order to build a consistent product across all browser we didn't do any modification (yet). Ideally we should check if "one tab" has been selected and start recording automatically.

For now i recommend you to pick "full screen"
