Google Chrome is upgrading video recording on Windows 11 with better quality, low size

Google Chrome is enhancing its media recording capabilities by adding support for the HEVC codec, which will improve video recording quality and reduce file sizes for web-based video conferencing. The transition from older codecs like H.264, VP8, and VP9 to HEVC is underway, with recent code commits indicating progress in integrating HEVC support into Chrome on Windows 11. Users can test this functionality by enabling an experimental flag. The new feature will allow video recording in MP4 and MKV formats, but it is currently disabled by default and requires manual activation. Basic HEVC encoding is supported, but hardware compatibility is not verified, meaning encoding may fail on unsupported devices. Developers are advised to check hardware capabilities before using the MediaRecorder instance. Additionally, Chrome is developing a modern Task Manager for managing browser activities.
