Browser compatibility and hardware recommendations for Mont
Mont runs entirely in your browser—no downloads or installations required. However, it relies on modern web APIs that not all browsers support yet.
Browser requirements
Mont requires a Chromium-based browser with support for WebCodecs (video encoding), File System Access (export), and MediaStreamTrackProcessor (screen capture).
| Browser | Version | Support |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | 94+ | Full support |
| Microsoft Edge | 94+ | Full support |
| Firefox | Any | Not supported |
| Safari | Any | Not supported |
Chrome or Edge 94 or later is required. Most users already have a compatible version—Chrome and Edge auto-update by default.
Why Firefox and Safari don't work
This isn't a Mont limitation. These browsers haven't implemented the web standards Mont depends on:
Firefox lacks the WebCodecs API for hardware-accelerated video encoding and the MediaStreamTrackProcessor for capturing screen content. Recording won't work.
Safari lacks the File System Access API, which Mont uses to stream exported videos directly to disk. Without it, export would require holding the entire video in memory—impractical for longer recordings. Safari 16.4+ added partial WebCodecs support, but the missing File System Access API still blocks the export workflow.
We'll add support for these browsers if and when they implement the required APIs.
Hardware recommendations
Mont performs video encoding and decoding in your browser. The hardware requirements depend on your recording resolution and whether you use multiple video tracks.
Minimum (1080p @ 30fps, single track)
- RAM: 8 GB
- CPU: 4 cores (Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 or equivalent)
- Storage: SSD recommended for smooth export
- Internet: Stable broadband for cloud sync
Recommended (1080p @ 60fps, multi-track)
- RAM: 16 GB
- CPU: 6+ cores (Intel i7 / AMD Ryzen 7 or equivalent)
- Storage: SSD required for reliable export streaming
- Internet: Stable broadband for cloud sync
Mont currently supports recording and export up to 1080p resolution.
Checking your setup
The easiest way to verify compatibility: open Mont in Chrome or Edge. If you see the dashboard and can create a project, your browser meets the requirements.
