Record computer audio

Record system audio directly into your composition with the Descript recorder–perfect for remote interviews, browser audio, or screen recordings.

Enabling computer audio

When you begin a screen recording, you’ll see the option to include audio from your computer. The available options depend on whether you’re using the Descript desktop app or the web version.

  • Desktop app: You can share audio from all apps.

  • Web browser: You can share audio from a specific tab.

Tips & best practices

  • We recommend making a short test recording in Descript before starting your full session.
  • Some third-party apps won’t work with computer audio recording if they require selecting a specific output device and don’t offer a “Same as System” or “System Default” option.
