Your recordings library: stats, search, and three views

Every clip you record is saved automatically in Chrome on your device — it appears in Recordings History without you having to export to your Downloads folder first. You never need a Showesome account or cloud drive for the extension to work.

This is part one of the recordings series: how to open your library, read recording statistics in the popup, and browse Recordings History using Compact, Large, or List view. Part two covers preview, MP4 export, and optional cloud backup.

Two ways to open Recordings History

Fast path — header button

1. Click the Showesome icon in the Chrome toolbar.
2. On the main popup, click the recordings icon in the header (tooltip: View Recordings).
3. Chrome opens Recordings History in a new tab.

Stats first — feature carousel

1. Open the popup (main view).
2. In the bottom feature carousel, swipe to the RECORDINGS card (“View statistics and manage your recordings”).
3. The popup switches to the Recordings view — totals, breakdown, storage, and recent clips.
4. Tap View All & Manage for the same Recordings History tab.

Recordings History — search, filter, and views

Recordings History gives you one place to search, organize, preview, export, and remove recordings. In the extension, the page subtitle is Manage and download your screen recordings. Clips stay in your Showesome library in Chrome until you delete them, clear all, or Chrome removes the extension’s saved data.

Find a clip

• Search — “Search recordings…” filters by title.
• Filter by mode — All Modes, Screen Only, Camera Only, Screen + Camera.

Three layouts (toolbar icons — same labels as in the extension):

1

2

3

From each tile or row you can

• Open preview (watch before you export).
• Download WebM or Convert / Download MP4 — export an extra copy to your computer (the recording is already in your library).
• Delete one clip, or Clear All with confirmation.

The cloud icon in the header opens optional upload settings — you can ignore it entirely and keep everything local.

Where your recordings live

When a recording finishes, it is already stored inside Chrome on your device and listed in Recordings History. You only need Download MP4 or Download WebM if you want a separate file in your Downloads folder or another app.

Recordings stay there until you delete them in Showesome or Chrome clears the extension’s saved data — for example after uninstalling the extension or clearing its storage. If storage gets tight, Showesome may trim older clips at high usage (see the FAQ on storage limits). Showesome does not host your videos — capture and the library run in your browser.

Quick checklist

1. Record at least one clip.
2. Popup → RECORDINGS card for stats, or header icon for the library.
3. Try Search and Filter by mode once you have several clips.
4. Switch Compact, Large, and List to find the layout you prefer.
5. Continue to preview & optional cloud when you are ready to export or back up.
