Is Brainshark Screen Recorder safe?

Low risk

Brainshark Screen Recorder lets any website request a screen recording and receive the WebM blob after user approval.

The extension listens for page messages on every injected site and can start Chrome's desktopCapture flow from those messages. If the user approves Chrome's screen-sharing prompt, the recording is returned to the requesting page as a WebM blob.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
