The ClickUp screen recorder Chrome extension lets you capture quick videos, share context with your team, and reduce long meetings to simple visual updates. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to install, use, and manage the extension for faster collaboration.

What You Need Before Using ClickUp Screen Recording

Before you start recording, make sure you have the basics ready:

• A ClickUp workspace and account
• Google Chrome installed on your computer
• Permission to install Chrome extensions on your browser

How to Install the ClickUp Chrome Screen Recorder

Follow these steps to add the extension to your browser:

1. Open Google Chrome on your desktop or laptop.

2. Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for the ClickUp screen recorder extension, or navigate to the detailed feature overview on the official ClickUp screen recorder page.

3. Click the button labeled Add to Chrome.

4. Confirm the installation when the browser prompts you to allow permissions.

After installation, you can launch the ClickUp screen recorder from the Chrome toolbar without opening the full app in a separate tab.

How to Record Your Screen with ClickUp

Recording a video with the ClickUp extension is straightforward. Use the steps below to create clear, shareable clips for your team.

Step 1: Open the ClickUp Extension

Click the ClickUp icon in the Chrome toolbar. If prompted, log in to your workspace. You may only need to do this once, depending on your browser settings.

Step 2: Choose What to Record

Decide what part of your screen you want to capture. The ClickUp extension typically offers three options:

• Browser tab: Record only the current tab for focused walkthroughs.
• Entire screen: Capture your full desktop, including app switching and notifications.
• Application window: Record a specific app window, such as a design tool or document.

Select the option that best fits your tutorial or update.

Step 3: Configure Audio and Camera

Before you start recording, configure your inputs:

• Toggle your microphone on or off.
• Choose which microphone device to use if you have more than one.
• Enable or disable your webcam if the extension supports picture-in-picture video.

Using voice and webcam through ClickUp helps create more engaging, personal updates for your team.

Step 4: Start Recording

Click the Record button in the ClickUp extension. The browser may show a short countdown before it begins capturing.

While recording, you can:

• Walk through tasks or documents
• Demonstrate bugs or issues
• Explain feedback with on-screen context
• Show step-by-step workflows inside your workspace

Keep your explanation clear and concise so teammates can watch and act quickly.

Step 5: Stop and Save the Recording

When you are finished, click the Stop button in the ClickUp extension or the stop control in the recording overlay.

After you stop the recording:

• The video is automatically uploaded to your ClickUp workspace.
• You receive a shareable link.
• You can immediately attach it to a task, comment, or doc.

This automatic upload process is designed to keep your work organized and accessible inside ClickUp without additional manual steps.

How to Share ClickUp Screen Recordings

Once your video is saved, you can share it directly with your team so they can view and respond in context.

Attach to a ClickUp Task

To turn your recording into actionable work:

1. Open the relevant task in ClickUp.

2. Paste the video link into a comment or the task description.

3. Tag teammates and assign the task or comment so they know what to review.

This workflow keeps your visual explanation, requirements, and responsibilities in one place.

Share the Link in a Comment or Chat

You can also share the link in other collaboration spaces, such as:

• Task comments for quick clarifications
• Chat or team communication tools
• Docs or wikis for process documentation

Because the video is hosted in ClickUp, your team keeps a single source of truth instead of scattered file versions.

How to Use ClickUp Recordings to Replace Meetings

Short, targeted recordings help you avoid unnecessary synchronous calls. Use the ClickUp recorder to:

• Walk through a new feature or workflow instead of scheduling a demo call.
• Report bugs by showing exactly how to reproduce the behavior.
• Give design or document feedback with on-screen highlights.
• Share status updates that teammates can watch on their own time.

This approach is especially useful for distributed teams working across time zones.

Best Practices for ClickUp Screen Recorder

To get the most out of your recordings, follow these practical tips.

Keep ClickUp Videos Short and Focused

Try to keep each video to one clear topic or question. Shorter recordings are easier for your team to watch and reference later.

• Limit most videos to 2–5 minutes.
• Use separate recordings for separate issues or features.
• Summarize the goal in the first 10–15 seconds.

Use Clear Titles and Descriptions in ClickUp

When you share your video inside ClickUp, add context:

• Include a descriptive title or comment, such as “Sprint 5 bug walkthrough”.
• Mention what actions you want the viewer to take.
• Tag specific teammates who must respond or fix the issue.

This keeps your workspace tidy and makes it easier to search for past videos.

Organize Screen Recordings Inside ClickUp

To keep your recordings discoverable:

• Attach them to the relevant task instead of leaving them unreferenced.
• Use consistent naming conventions in task titles.
• Group related tasks into lists or folders by project or feature.

Structured organization in ClickUp ensures your recordings become long-term assets, not one-off messages.

Troubleshooting Common ClickUp Screen Recorder Issues

If the extension is not working as expected, try these steps:

• No audio recorded: Confirm microphone permissions in your browser and operating system, then reselect the correct device in the ClickUp extension.
• Extension not visible: Open the Chrome puzzle icon and pin the ClickUp extension to your toolbar.
• Upload taking too long: Check your internet connection and close large downloads or streams while the video uploads.
• Screen not selected: Make sure you explicitly choose a tab, window, or full screen when the browser prompts you.

If problems continue, review the guide and support resources linked from the official article on the ClickUp blog.
