Figma Prototype Preview Recorder

About

Record anything in Figma's Preview to video — prototypes, scroll-throughs, even embedded video — straight from a button inside Figma's own Preview window.

Figma Prototype Preview Recorder adds a red ● record button right into the Preview toolbar. Click it, click through your prototype, click again to stop, and a video file lands in your Downloads. No screen-recording app, no OS permission prompts, no cropping the rest of your screen out of the frame.

★ WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Instead of screen-grabbing your monitor, it captures the prototype's actual rendering surface directly. That means:
• Pixel-perfect video at the preview's exact size — not a re-compressed screenshot of your screen
• No browser tabs, cursor, or desktop bleeding into the recording
• Videos embedded in your prototype are captured too
• Optionally capture the prototype's audio — the sound from embedded video, no permission prompt
• No screen-capture permission dialog, and nothing ever leaves your browser

★ HOW TO USE IT
1. Open a Figma design file and start the Preview (Shift + Space)
2. Drag the Preview window to the size you want — that's your recording resolution
3. Click the red ● in the Preview toolbar to start
4. Click through your prototype
5. Click ■ to stop — the video saves to your Downloads

★ OPTIONS (the ▾ next to the button)
• Bitrate — 1 to 50 Mbps
• Frame rate — 30 or 60 fps
• Codec — Auto (MP4 / H.264, plays everywhere) or WebM (VP9 / VP8 / AV1)
• Capture audio — record the prototype's embedded sound (no permission prompt)
• Reset prototype on start — restarts the flow the moment you hit record, so you catch it from the very beginning

★ PRIVACY
Everything runs locally in your browser. The extension only activates on Figma design files (figma.com/design/…). It doesn't collect, send, or store any data — your recordings go straight to your computer's Downloads folder.

Made for designers who need a quick, clean capture of a prototype in motion — for handoff, decks, social, or just sharing what you built.
