Could you build this?
Partial The browser recorder and editor UI are buildable, but smooth cursor-following auto-zoom, automatic redaction, and 4K export in-browser are hard to get working reliably.
What it would actually take: Build on browser APIs like getDisplayMedia and MediaRecorder with a canvas-based renderer for zoom and cursor smoothing. Auto-redaction needs OCR and PII detection (e.g., Tesseract or a cloud vision API) with a tracked region model. Getting good quality, performance, and privacy guarantees in-browser needs someone experienced with video pipelines and codecs.
