Screen share extension

What Is Screen Share Extension?

A screen share extension is a downloadable browser add-on that enables users of the ON24 Intelligent Engagement Platform to use the Capture Video Clip tool. This tool allows presenters and event organizers to record short video segments—such as live demos, screen workflows, or narrated explanations—that become part of a webinar or digital experience.

The extension interacts directly with the ON24 Platform to ensure secure, high-quality screen capture. Once installed, users can capture video segments that are later used to enhance simu-live events, on-demand content hubs, or interactive training materials.

Why It Matters

High-quality video content plays an essential role in digital engagement. The screen share extension helps teams create polished screen recordings without relying on external editing tools or third-party software. This simplifies the production process and ensures recorded segments integrate seamlessly into the ON24 environment.

Because the Capture Video Clip tool is used frequently in product demonstrations, training modules, and guided walkthroughs, the extension enables smoother workflows and faster content creation. For teams building multi-step learning programs or product marketing content, ON24’s capabilities—including screen capture—complement the strategies described on the Propel Your Pipeline page.

The extension is also important for simu-live events. Presenters can pre-record segments using the extension and then participate live during Q&A, chat, or other engagement moments during the event. To better understand where these capabilities sit within ON24’s ecosystem, you can explore the platform’s webinar features on the ON24 webinar capabilities page.
