Description

Record any tab into a MP3 which you can download. New and improved version 2 which conforms to Google's best practices. Give it a try!

Chrome Audio Capture is a Chrome extension that allows users to record any audio playing on the current tab. Multiple tabs can be recorded simultaneously. Recordings can be saved as either .mp3 or .wav files. Users will have the option to mute tabs that are currently being recorded.

To begin recording on a tab simply click on the extension icon and use the interface or hotkeys to start and stop the recording. Once the recording is stopped or when the time limit is reached, a new tab will be opened for you to save and name your audio file. Make sure to save your file before closing the tab, otherwise the file will be lost! Check the options page for different output file formats and other features!

If you enjoyed the extension, please leave a review on the extension page! Please report any bugs or suggestions using the support tab of the extension page.

Note: Currently recordings are limited to 60 minutes due to Chrome memory constraints but you can safely bump it to 1.5 or 2 hours. Beyond that it will run out of memory in Chrome and stop abruptly. Sorry, this is a Chrome limitation.

BONUS: Webinar audio and video are now one click easy to record! When viewing certain webinar pages a RECORD button may be available making it a snap to record the webinar and have the video sent to you afterwards. Never miss another webinar or meeting. For cloud recording (which does not use your computer) a subscription service from Zoomcorder is required. Local recording is always free. Also webinar recommendations may appear on certain video meeting pages for high quality webinars from Meeting TV.
