Chrome 153 ships native tab recorder: 120fps 4K AV1 capture, no ffmpeg needed
Vjeux · x · 2026-11-10
paulirish released chrome-capture, a small npm package leveraging Chrome 153+'s new native MP4 tab recorder. It captures tab video and audio losslessly in AV1 at 60fps easily, up to 120fps at 2160p — a huge upgrade over the decade-old Page.startScreencast CDP API (JPEG frames base64ed over CDP) that Playwright and Puppeteer video recording was built on. Works inside pptr/playwright via a one-line npx command.
