Step 1 - Install the Claap Chrome Extension
You can install the extension at any time from the Chrome Web Store.
If you prefer to do it from within Claap, click the Record button in the sidebar, select Record video, then click Install Chrome Extension. You'll be redirected to the Chrome Web Store automatically.
When in the Chrome Web Store, click on the Add to Chrome button, then Agree with the Chrome permissions and click on Add extension:
Step 2 - Pin the extension to your Chrome bar
Once installed, Claap will remind you to pin the extension for easy access. Here's how:
Pin it to your Chrome bar for easy access with the following steps:
Click the puzzle piece icon 🧩 on the right side of your Chrome address bar
Find Claap in the list
Click the pin icon 📌 next to it
The Claap icon will now always be visible in your toolbar, one click away from recording.
Step 3 - Grant access to your microphone and webcam
The first time you open the extension, Chrome will ask for permission to use your camera and microphone. Click Allow permission, then Grant permission when prompted.
Click on Allow permission and grant access to your camera and microphone by clicking on Grant permission when you are prompted:
When the system popup is displayed asking for these permissions, please ensure you select Allow or Allow while visiting the site.
⚠️ Selecting Allow this time will prevent proper use of the extension in the future.
You're all set 🎬
At this point you are all set to record with the Claap Chrome Extension. Just click on the Claap icon in the Chrome bar or on the Record button in your Claap workspace to launch the extension and start recording.
