About Cap
Cap is a screen recorder for Windows, macOS and Linux that can share a recording as a link. It has an instant mode for quick clips and a studio mode for edited videos.
What it does
Instant mode uploads while you record, so the share link is ready as soon as you stop. Studio mode is for more polished recordings that you edit in the built-in editor. A screenshot mode captures still images. Recordings can include your camera, microphone and system audio, and the site also offers an import path for libraries from other recording tools.
