Record a screen, window or selection with Kazam

by

Kazam is a very simple screen recorder for KDE but just because it is simple doesn’t mean it isn’t really good at it’s job. Kazam provides a well designed and easy to use interface for capturing screen‐casts and screenshots. It can record desktop video and multiple audio streams simultaneously with control over audio levels and the screen region being captured.

Installation

To install Kazam open Konsole and type,

sudo apt install kazam

After installation, Kazam can be found in the Application Menu under Applications/Multimedia or by typing Kazam into the search box at the top of the menu.
