The recorded view follows the action instead of leaving the whole canvas small and hard to read. Your output can include a clean background, rounded whiteboard frame, cursor focus, webcam bubble, and the aspect ratio you chose before recording.
A whiteboard, a recorder, and FocuSee-style motion — all in one browser tab.
The camera follows your clicks and zooms in where the action is — that smooth, cinematic explainer feel.
Add a round or square camera bubble so your audience sees you while you teach.
Drop your whiteboard onto a soft gradient with padding and rounded corners — instantly polished.
Point with a laser or leave ink marks to guide attention while you talk.
Organize your canvas into slides and read your script from a built-in teleprompter.
Recording happens locally in your browser. Your video never uploads to a server.
ExcaliRec has an Excalidraw-style canvas built right in, so you draw and record in one place. No need to screen-capture a separate Excalidraw tab, line up the window, or crop afterwards — the whiteboard is the recording.
