Example: a short WebM transcript
Speaker 1Okay, I'm sharing my screen now. Can you see the settings page?
Speaker 2Yes, I can see it. That's where the error shows up for me too.
Speaker 1Great. So when I click Save here, you'll see the message pops up after about two seconds.
Why so many browser recordings are WebM
When a website records your camera, microphone or screen, it usually uses the browser's built-in recording feature, and Chrome and Firefox typically save video recordings as WebM. That's why online screen recorders, web voice recorders and some interview tools hand you a .webm file.
Audio-only WebM files are common too. They upload the same way as video WebMs.
Playback problems don't stop transcription
Some apps, especially older video editors and media players on Windows and Mac, don't open WebM. If you need the recording elsewhere, the free WebM to MP3 converter on this site turns it into MP3 or WAV in your browser without uploading it.
For transcription you can skip that step and upload the WebM directly.
