It should also be noted that the tool doesn't try to do anything else other than recording your screen. Despite its name, this is a feature-rich screen recorder what its name actually means is that it's easy to use this application to record your screen thanks to its sane default settings that don't require tweaking to get started. SimpleScreenRecorder is a Qt5 screen recorder for X11 that supports OpenGL. The article initially only included 4 screencast tools, but I later added one more (RecApp).

To change the duration, you can use the command below: ＄ gsettings set .media-keys max-screencast-length 120 Open your command line and enter the command below to get the current set duration (it’s usually 30 seconds by default): ＄ gsettings get .media-keys max-screencast-length The good thing is that this duration can be changed using the command line.

In order to record your screen, you’ll need to install an external software/application.
