  ✨ CORE FEATURES AT A GLANCE ✨
  
  ♾️ UNLIMITED RECORDING SESSION LENGTH
  Capture videos of any duration. Record a quick two-minute clip or a full two-hour lecture without interruption. The only limit is your available disk space. This is a true screen recorder with no time limit, designed for real-world tasks.
  
  🔒 TRUE OFFLINE & PRIVATE OPERATION
  Your recordings never leave your machine. ZenCapture processes and saves all video files locally. We do not use cloud servers for recording, meaning your sensitive data, meetings, and work remain completely private.
  
  🎥 CRYSTAL-CLEAR 4K UHD VIDEO
  Produce stunningly sharp recordings. ZenCapture supports resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD (2160p) to capture every detail of your high-resolution display, perfect for design reviews, detailed software tutorials, and high-fidelity content.
  
  🎙️ FLEXIBLE, PROFESSIONAL AUDIO CAPTURE
  A powerful screen recorder with audio capabilities is essential. ZenCapture offers advanced control:
  • System Audio: Record clear, internal sound directly from your browser tabs, applications, or your entire computer system.
  • Microphone Mixing: Narrate over your recording by blending your microphone commentary with the system audio into one perfectly synchronized track.
  
  ⚙️ PRECISION CONTROLS FOR PERFECT RESULTS
  Tailor every recording to your specific project requirements with a suite of professional tools.
  
  1️⃣ ADJUSTABLE VIDEO SETTINGS
  • Frame Rate Selection: Choose 60 FPS for buttery-smooth motion in gameplay or UI animations, or opt for 30/15 FPS to create smaller, efficient file sizes.
  • Custom Bitrate: Manually adjust the quality-to-size ratio to fit your storage or sharing needs.
  • Recording Countdown: Set a 3, 5, or 10-second delay after you hit record, giving you time to prepare and present flawlessly.
  
  2️⃣ PICTURE-IN-PICTURE WEBCAM OVERLAY
  Add a personal touch to your videos by including your camera feed.
  • Place the webcam overlay in any corner of your recording.
  • Resize it between subtle and prominent modes.
  • See a live preview of yourself while you record to ensure you're always in frame.
  
  3️⃣ EFFORTLESS WORKFLOW
  Using ZenCapture is intentionally simple:
  ➤ Click the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.
  ➤ Select what to capture: Your Entire Screen, a Specific Application Window, or a single Chrome Tab.
  ➤ Toggle your Microphone and System Audio on or off with one click.
  ➤ Press "Start Recording" to begin.
  ➤ Click "Stop" to instantly save the WebM video file directly to your downloads folder.

  🛡️ OUR FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
  ZenCapture is built on commitments we refuse to compromise:
  • Zero Accounts Required: Install the extension and start recording immediately. No email, no login, no barriers.
  • No Data Tracking: We do not collect your personal usage analytics or metadata. Your activity remains your business.
  • Lightweight Performance: The extension is optimized to have a minimal footprint on your system's memory and CPU, so it runs quietly in the background.
  
  ⌨️ QUICK ACCESS
  Use the customizable keyboard shortcut (default: Shift + Alt + R) to start and stop recordings instantly. You can remap this to any key combination you prefer in Chrome's extension shortcut settings (chrome://extensions/shortcuts).
  
  📝 IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTES
  For the best experience, please be aware of these platform-specific details:
  • macOS System Audio: Due to operating system-level restrictions, capturing "System Audio" (e.g., from desktop apps) works most reliably when selecting a "Chrome Tab" as your source. For full system audio capture from any application on macOS, a third-party virtual audio device may be required.
  • Output Format: Recordings are saved in the modern, efficient WebM format (using VP9/VP8 codecs). This format is natively supported by Chrome, Edge, VLC media player, and most modern video editing suites.
  
  Discover the simplicity of a screen recorder with no watermark, no hidden fees, and no complexity. ZenCapture puts the power of unlimited, private video capture directly into your browser toolbar. It's the reliable tool you'll reach for again and again.
