Sign in to the Screenity web app on a desktop browser to record, upload and edit videos.

## Sign in

1. Open Screenity and choose **Sign Up** to create an account, or **Login** to return to one.
2. Choose **Continue with Google** or enter your email and follow the prompts. If you use an email link, open the link sent to your email.

Use the original sign-in method if you cannot access an existing account.

## Start a video

From your dashboard, choose how to begin. The wording varies slightly between an empty library and one with videos.

- **Record video** or **Record your screen or camera** opens the recording studio. See [Record a video](https://screenity.io/help/web-recording/record-a-video).
- **Upload a video** or **Import from your computer** adds a file you already have. See [Import and upload videos](https://screenity.io/help/web-library/import-videos).
- **Blank video**, from the Create menu, opens an empty project in the editor so you can add media there.

## Find your videos

Your dashboard lists your videos. Open one to edit it. Instant videos open in the viewer. See [Manage videos and folders](https://screenity.io/help/web-library/manage-your-videos).

## Use the Chrome extension

The extension adds recording tools such as annotations and click highlights. [Install the extension](https://screenity.io/help/get-started/how-to-install-the-screenity-extension), or [upload an extension recording](https://screenity.io/help/web-library/import-videos) to work on it here.
