Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Download it, record, share. No account and no trial.

Windows warned me about the installer

Clipiao is new and its installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows shows "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.

Where do my clips go?

A copy stays on your PC in Videos\Clipiao. The shared copy lives behind your link, so anyone with the link can watch it.

Can it record sound?

Not yet. System audio and microphone are the next things we're adding.

What do I need?

Windows 10 (version 2004 or newer) or Windows 11. The app is 2.5 MB.

Your next clip is one drag away.

Install it once. After that it's a hotkey, a box and a link.
