• vokoscreenNG

  18 1,006 9.7 C++

  vokoscreenNG is a powerful screencast creator in many languages to record the screen, an area or a window (Linux only). Recording of audio from multiple sources is supported. With the built-in camera support, you can make your video more personal. Other tools such as systray, magnifying glass, countdown, timer, Showclick and Halo support will help

I learned about the super useful VokoScreen[1] at HN, so now I'm returning the favor back at HN, for those using Linux (although looks like it also has Windows builds? I didn't know before!)

  Elegantly record your screen

I'm really impressed by Kooha:

https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha

It allows recording a rectangle/section of the screen, supports Wayland and records to webm by default - which most(?) browsers can play directly.

It's made it trivial to record short how-to videos for helping illustrate how to do something with a web app, or to illustrate visual bugs.
