FAQ

Windows & Linux Queries

Frequently asked technical questions about our cross-platform architecture.

Why is Screen Studio macOS only?

Screen Studio is built as a native Swift/Objective-C desktop app leveraging Apple-specific APIs. Simple Screen Recorder uses standard HTML5 Web APIs and Chrome extension frameworks, allowing it to run cross-platform on any desktop OS.

Do I need to install heavy desktop libraries?

No. Simple Screen Recorder installs in seconds from the Chrome Web Store. It doesn't require compiling Python, running Node servers, or downloading desktop executables.

Can I record desktop apps outside Chrome?

Simple Screen Recorder is optimized for Chrome tab recordings to ensure accurate click coordinate spotlight tracking. While it can capture other desktop windows using standard Chrome share pipelines, click auto-zoom spotlighting works exclusively on tab recordings.
