It runs in any modern browserChrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Arc—and records the four tracks you actually need, in full quality and perfectly synced:

  • 🎤 Mic (your voice)

  • 📷 Camera (your face)

  • 🖥️ Screen (what you’re reacting to)

  • 🔊 System audio (the YouTube/TikTok/stream audio)

All four are captured locally and auto-synced, so brief Wi-Fi hiccups don’t ruin a take—and your exports stay clean.


Why browser-based is better

Downloading software is slow and heavy. Installs, updates, drivers, and complex setups waste time and bog down your computer. A browser workflow is fast, lightweight, and consistent across Mac, Windows, and Chromebook—no learning curve, just open a tab and record in high quality. Local capture also means your internet connection doesn’t dictate quality.


Why do most browser recorders miss the sound (system audio) coming from a YouTube video?

Tools like Canva, Riverside, Descript, Loom often capture your mic and webcam but skip system audio. Browsers lock this down for privacy, and keeping mic + camera + screen + system audio in sync is harder than it looks—so most products avoid it. Podsplice solved that puzzle without clunky workarounds.


How Podsplice handles it (in any browser)

  • Works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Arc

  • Records mic, camera, screen, and system audio as separate local tracks

  • Auto-syncs everything for clean edits and perfect balance

  • Captures at high quality from the start—no fake “4K” of a low-res source

Bottom line

If your reaction video doesn’t include the original clip’s audio, the content falls flat. Podsplice captures the screen, face, mic, and system audio—all in sync—in any browser.
