Screen Studio is Mac-only

Screen Studio for Windows?

There isn't one. Screen Studio only runs on macOS. But you can get the same polished look on Windows: smooth auto zoom on your clicks, a nicer cursor and click effects.

The short answer

Screen Studio has no Windows version and hasn't announced one. If you're on Windows, you have two kinds of options: desktop apps that copy the Screen Studio workflow, and browser extensions that do it inside Chrome.

If most of what you record happens in the browser (product demos, SaaS walkthroughs, bug reports, tutorials for web apps), Zumie is the simplest route. It's a Chrome extension, so there's nothing to install on Windows itself, and it adds zooms on your clicks automatically. $49 once, or free with a watermark.

If you record desktop apps like VS Code, Excel or Figma's desktop app and want auto zoom there too, a desktop app like FocuSee or Rapidemo is the better fit. Zumie can record a window or your whole screen, but auto zoom only works inside Chrome tabs, so you'd add the zooms by hand.

Screen Studio style recorders on Windows

Screen Studio itself ($29/month or $108/year) is Mac-only. These run on Windows.

Is Zumie the right pick for you?

Zumie fits if

  • You mostly record things in Chrome: web apps, SaaS demos, dashboards, docs
  • You want to pay once instead of a subscription
  • You don't want to install desktop software (or can't, on a work laptop)
  • You also switch between Windows, Mac or a Chromebook
  • You want recordings to stay on your computer, not in someone's cloud

Pick a desktop app if

  • You need auto zoom in desktop apps like VS Code or Excel
  • You need 4K export (Zumie goes up to 1440p)
  • You record games or long streams (OBS is better for that)

How it works on Windows

  1. 1Install Zumie from the Chrome Web Store. No account needed.
  2. 2Click the Zumie icon in a tab and pick tab, window or full screen recording.
  3. 3Do your demo as usual. Zumie notes where you click and type.
  4. 4Open the editor: zooms, cursor and click effects are already there. Tweak or remove any of them.
  5. 5Export an MP4 or make a share link.

FAQ

Is there a Screen Studio for Windows?

No. Screen Studio only runs on macOS. On Windows, the closest options are desktop apps like FocuSee and Rapidemo, or Chrome extensions like Zumie and Cursorful that add auto zoom to browser recordings.

Does Zumie's auto zoom work outside Chrome?

No. Auto zoom and click effects work when you record a Chrome tab, because that's where the extension can see your clicks. You can still record a window or your whole screen and add zooms by hand in the editor.

How much does Zumie cost compared to Screen Studio?

Zumie is free with a watermark, or $49 once for the Pro version (no watermark, HD and MAX export, 3 devices). Screen Studio is $29/month or $108/year and Mac-only.

Does Zumie upload my recordings?

No. Recordings and editing stay on your computer. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to create a share link.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The free version has every recording and editing feature, exports just carry a small watermark. There's also a 7-day money-back guarantee on the paid version.
