What FocusTake is
FocusTake is a Chrome extension for creating browser product demos from a single recording. It can capture webcam video, microphone input, system audio, and browser-tab audio, with maximum video quality listed as 4K. Browser Tab recordings may include camera and voice overlays. Clicks, typing, scrolling, selections, and URL changes can create adjustable zoom moments, while the editor smooths cursor movement into a steady overlay. Local editing controls cover background, layout, cursor, motion, and zoom. FocusTake exports WebM, MP4, or GIF files locally, with WebM as the default. Entire Screen and Application Window captures remain plain recordings; enhancements apply to Browser Tab recordings. Recordings and project media stay on the device, and recording or export requires no account. The free plan includes 720p and 1080p export with a watermark. Pro costs $39 a month as a one-time local license and adds 2K and 4K export on up to three computers.
