This tool is built on the browser's MediaRecorder API and getUserMedia API. MediaRecorder API is a W3C standard that supports direct audio/video stream recording in the browser. Video encoding uses VP8/VP9 codecs with WebM container format output. All data processing occurs locally in the browser without any backend service dependency, ensuring user privacy and security. Modern browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all support this functionality.
