Here's a Google Sheet to compare Screenity's features with other free & premium screen recorders available for Chrome.

Translating Screenity to other languages

If you'd like to translate Screenity to a new language, here's what you should do:

  1. Make sure the language you want to translate Screenity into is supported by the Chrome Store. Here's a list of all the supported locales.
  2. Create a new folder under _locales with the locale name for your language.
  3. Make a copy of this file and translate the "message". The "description" shouldn't be translated, it's only there to give you some context where the string will show in the extension.
  4. Translate the Chrome Store description so it can be published there, you can simply make a comment with it when you make a pull request. Here's an example of how that pull request should look like.

Before submitting the pull request, it would be helpful if you tried running the extension in the new language, to make sure everything looks right.

Self-hosting Screenity

You can run Screenity locally without having to install it from the Chrome Store. Here's how:

  1. Download the code. In the web version of GitHub, you can do that by clicking the green "Code" button, and then "Download ZIP".
  2. Go to chrome://extensions/ in your browser, and enable developer mode.
  3. Drag the folder that contains the code (make sure it's a folder and not a ZIP file, so unzip first), or click on the "Load unpacked" button and locate the folder.
  4. That's it, you will now be able to use Screenity locally. Make sure you pin it on the toolbar by clicking the "puzzle" icon in the toolbar and pinning Screenity.
  5. To enable the Google Drive Upload (authorization consent screen) you must change the client_id in the manifest.json file with your linked extension key. You can create it accessing Google Cloud https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?project=your_project and selecting menu "Create Credential" > "OAuth Client ID > Chrome App. To create an extension key, you can follow the steps here. After these steps, reload your Extension Folder in Extensions (Developer Mode).
