# How long can I record?

We offer our users the ability to record videos up to **5 minutes long**, regardless of whether they're **registered** or **unregistered**.

If you're using our [extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/capture-screen-recording/jpcandanmpaeclcpfhadgflmlbhdehjg) to record your video, you'll be able to keep track of your time limit thanks to our handy timer. Once you reach the 5-minute limit, your recording will automatically stop, and you'll be taken to the preview page.

Now, if you happen to start recording from the dashboard, you won't see a timer. But don't worry! Our system will still pause the recording once you hit the 5-minute mark and direct you to the preview page.&#x20;

We believe in making things as easy as possible for our users, so you can focus on capturing without any distractions.
