Built for Dev Teams

Screen Recorder for
Engineering Teams

Record code reviews, bug reproductions, and architecture decisions with auto-zoom that makes code actually readable. $39 one-time, no per-seat fees.

Why Engineering Teams Choose Zumie

Auto-Zoom Makes Code Readable

Click anywhere and Zumie zooms in automatically. Code reviews become watchable — reviewers see the exact lines you're discussing without squinting at a full-screen IDE. No editing, no post-production.

Click Highlights Show Navigation

Every click is visually highlighted so viewers follow your cursor through files, tabs, and terminal output. Bug reproductions become step-by-step visual guides instead of vague descriptions.

One-Time $39 — No Per-Seat Fees

Your team grows from 5 to 50 engineers and the cost stays $39. No monthly subscriptions, no per-user licensing. One payment, lifetime access.

Instant Sharing in PRs and Issues

Record a walkthrough and drop the link in your pull request, GitHub issue, or Slack thread. No uploading, no waiting. Teammates watch on their own schedule — async by default.

Zumie vs Loom vs OBS vs Screen Studio

Engineering teams need recordings where code is readable, sharing is instant, and pricing doesn't scale with headcount.

Loom

Cloud screen recorder

  • Cloud hosting & sharing
  • Team workspaces
  • AI summaries & transcripts

Per-seat pricing adds up fast for engineering teams. $15/user/month means a 15-person dev team pays $2,700/year. No auto-zoom — code is hard to read in recordings.

$15/user/month

OBS Studio

Open-source recorder

  • Completely free
  • Highly customizable
  • Streaming support

No auto-zoom, no click highlights, no instant sharing. Engineers spend time configuring scenes and outputs instead of recording. Sharing requires manual upload.

Free

Screen Studio

Desktop recorder (macOS)

  • Smooth auto-zoom
  • Beautiful motion effects
  • High production quality

macOS only — doesn't work for teams on Linux or Windows. $89 per device, no free plan. Desktop app only, not a browser extension.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does auto-zoom help with code reviews?

When you click on a line of code, Zumie automatically zooms in to make it readable. Reviewers see exactly which file, function, and line you're discussing — no more "can you zoom in?" comments on your PR videos. It works with any IDE, terminal, or browser-based tool.

Can I use Zumie for recording bug reproductions?

Yes. Click highlights show the exact sequence of actions that trigger the bug, and auto-zoom makes small UI glitches or error messages visible. Drop the recording link in your GitHub issue or Jira ticket — engineers see exactly what happened instead of reading "click the button and it breaks."

How does Zumie compare to Loom for engineering teams?

Loom charges $15/user/month — a 15-person engineering team pays $2,700/year. Zumie is $39 once. More importantly, Zumie has auto-zoom that makes code readable in recordings, which Loom doesn't offer. For code-heavy workflows like PR walkthroughs and architecture decisions, readability matters.

Does Zumie work with my IDE and dev tools?

Zumie is a Chrome extension that records your browser tab, entire screen, or specific window. It works with VS Code, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, terminal apps, and any browser-based tool. For desktop IDEs like IntelliJ or Vim, use full-screen recording mode.

How do I share recordings in pull requests?

After recording, Zumie gives you a shareable link instantly. Paste it in your PR description, code review comment, or Slack thread. No uploading to a separate service, no waiting for processing. Teammates click and watch.

Is there a free plan for trying it out?

Yes. The free plan has no time limit on usage — recordings are capped at 5 minutes each. Install from the Chrome Web Store, no signup required. When you're ready for unlimited recording length and Pro features, it's a one-time $39 payment.
