Free · No setup · With zoom
OBS, without the scenes,
sources and setup.
OBS is brilliant for streaming — and overkill when you just want a clean screen demo. No scenes, no encoder config, no install. DemoZoom records, adds cinematic zoom, and exports an MP4 in your browser, free.

When OBS is the better choice
For live streaming, multi-camera production and complex scene switching, OBS is the free industry standard and nothing in a browser tab competes. DemoZoom is for the opposite need: a quick, polished, zoomed screen demo exported to MP4 without touching a single setting.
FAQ
Is there a simpler alternative to OBS for screen recording?
Yes. OBS is built for live streaming with scenes and sources, which is overkill for a quick screen demo. DemoZoom records your screen in a browser tab, adds cinematic zoom, and exports an MP4 — no scene setup, no install. It's free.
Does DemoZoom have zoom like OBS doesn't?
Yes. OBS has no built-in cinematic zoom — you'd add it in a separate editor afterwards. DemoZoom lets you click where the camera should zoom and renders a smooth push-in, then exports the MP4 directly.
Is DemoZoom free like OBS?
Yes, free. The difference is simplicity: no download, no scenes/sources, no encoder configuration — open the page and record. OBS stays the better tool for live streaming and complex multi-source production.
