# Record Yourself

> Learn how to record yourself using Sendspark's web app or Chrome extension with step-by-step instructions for webcam recording.

You can record yourself with Sendspark using either the web app or the Chrome extension, and we recommend the Chrome extension for maximum speed. Install and pin the extension, click the Sendspark icon to launch it, choose Face to capture just your webcam, then use the red Record button to start and the red Stop button to finish.

## Key takeaways

* Record with either the Sendspark web app or the Chrome extension; the extension is recommended for maximum speed.
* Install the Sendspark Chrome extension and pin it, then launch it from the Sendspark icon in your browser.
* Select Face to record only your webcam.
* Click the red Record button to start and the red Stop button to end the recording.

You may use either the Sendspark Web Application on the Sendspark Chrome Extension to record yourself with Sendspark.

Both ways work great, but we recommend using the Chrome Extension for maximum speed.

This article will walk you through both options to record your screen with Sendspark.
