Which screen recorder?

Greetings,

Which screen recorder do you recommend for Gnome DE (preferable GTK)? I need one that can also record sound and save as mp4.

regards,

The new kid on the block is Kooha available in the ~~AUR (Arch User Repository)~~ community repo. It can save as WebM or MKV. Much more efficient and smaller file size than MP4.

There’s also of course the built-in screen recorder using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R that does save as MP4 by default.

Okay, I’ll check it out. TGhanks.

Is it possible to change settings in the Gnome build-in screen recorder?

Not really, there’s only a couple settings.

You can change the maximum length of screen recordings by changing this value in Dconf Editor:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/max-screencast-length

Set a value in seconds or 0 for unlimited.

You can also change the keyboard shortcut:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/screencast
