Question 1

What is Screen Beaver?

Accepted Answer

A local product-demo studio you can drive with MCP agents. Cursor or Claude can capture a walkthrough without you touching the screen — then Screen Beaver adds zooms, captions, AI voiceover, and exports H.264 MP4 on your machine.

Question 2

How do I make a tutorial without touching my screen?

Accepted Answer

Install the Screen Beaver MCP server, connect Cursor or Claude, and ask the agent to run the demo. The agent clicks and types while Screen Beaver records and auto-polishes. You review and hit Export.

Question 3

Do I need the desktop app?

Accepted Answer

The browser studio works for tab/window/screen capture via the OS share picker. The optional Windows Tauri app unlocks system-wide cursor tracking, picker-free native capture, USB Android recording, and full MCP/agent control.

Question 4

Is my video uploaded for export?

Accepted Answer

No. Export is local H.264 MP4 via WebCodecs (Chrome or Edge recommended). Optional network features like Edge TTS voiceover or Creative Commons music search are separate and only when you use them.

Question 5

Does Android recording work over USB?

Accepted Answer

With the desktop app — portable ADB/scrcpy mirrors the phone, records MP4, samples cursor for zooms/clicks, and can auto-match a device frame with 9:16 framing.

Question 6

Is Screen Beaver a Screen Studio alternative for Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes — with a unique MCP angle: agents can film the demo for you. You still get cinematic zooms, cursor polish, effects, AI voiceover, Android USB, and local H.264 export.
