How it works
- Open your InstantTranscriber dashboard and choose Record another tab.
- For meetings where you want your own voice included, choose Record tab + microphone instead.
- Select the tab you want to capture and enable Share tab audio.
- Click Record, then play the audio, video, or meeting in that tab.
- Stop the recording to upload and start transcription automatically.
- Download your transcript as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT, or VTT.
Common use cases
Browser meeting transcription
Record a Zoom Web, Google Meet, or Teams tab and include your microphone so the transcript captures both sides of the conversation.
Webinars and livestreams
Capture the tab audio when you only need the host, presenter, or streamed content.
Online classes and tutorials
Turn a lesson, demo, or training tab into searchable notes with timestamps.
Common issues and fixes
Not supported in Safari or Firefox; use Chrome or Edge.
Forgetting to enable Share tab audio results in silent recordings.
Tab-only recording usually captures other speakers, not your local microphone; choose Record tab + microphone for meetings.
Muted tabs or very low volume reduce transcription accuracy.
DRM-protected streams may block audio capture.

FAQ
Can I record Chrome tab audio and transcribe it?
Yes. In Chrome, choose Record another tab, select the tab, enable Share tab audio, then stop the recording to upload and transcribe it automatically.
Which browsers support tab audio recording?
Tab audio capture works in Chrome and Edge. Safari and Firefox do not support the required tab audio API.
Can I use this as a Chrome tab recorder with audio?
Yes. InstantTranscriber can record audio from a Chrome tab when Share tab audio is enabled, then convert that recording into a transcript.
Can I record the tab and my microphone at the same time?
Yes. Choose Record tab + microphone to mix Chrome or Edge tab audio with your microphone into one recording before transcription. This is useful for browser meetings where you need both the other participants and your own voice.
Why did my recording have no sound?
Make sure Share tab audio is checked when selecting the tab. Also confirm the tab is not muted.
