Recording a clip

Clip Cabinet records any browser tab into a clip you can search, share, and hand to an AI agent. Recording happens through the Chrome extension. If you haven't set it up yet, see Installing the extension.

Start a recording

1. Click the ClipCabinet icon and choose Record Clip.
2. A recorder window opens and asks which tab to capture. Pick the tab you want.
3. A small floating bar appears on the page that says Click to begin recording. Drag it anywhere you like, then click to start. The bar shows a red REC badge and a running timer while you record.

Clip Cabinet captures the tab and its audio, plus your microphone when you allow it. If you deny mic access, or another app is already using your mic, recording continues without it and the bar tells you so. Audio playing in the tab (a meeting, a video) is captured either way.

While recording

The floating bar gives you:

• Pause and resume to skip a part without stopping.
• Stop to finish and upload the clip.
• Discard to throw the recording away. You're asked to confirm, so you can't lose a clip by accident.

After you stop

The clip uploads and starts processing right away. You don't have to wait on the page. See What happens after you capture for the steps a clip runs through, or open it from your Dashboard once it's ready.

Recording length

On the Free plan, recordings can run up to 5 minutes. Pro raises that to 15 minutes. See Plans & billing.

Where recording works

You can record any normal website. Chrome blocks capture on its own pages (chrome://), other extensions' pages, and the Chrome Web Store. Switch to a regular tab if you land on one of those.
