Why "no extension" matters
Engineering teams audit every Chrome extension that touches their dev environment. Screendog uses the native Screen Capture API — no install, no extension permissions, no security review.
Honesty about what you're replacing
Soapbox itself was discontinued by Wistia. If you landed here from a "Soapbox alternative" search, the real choice is between recorders aimed at marketing (Tella, Loom) and recorders aimed at engineering (Screendog).
