This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by recording a window using the GPU only, similar to shadowplay on windows. This is the fastest screen recording tool for Linux. This screen recorder only works on X11 (Wayland with Xwayland is NOT supported).

This screen recorder can be used for recording your desktop offline, for live streaming and for nvidia-like instant replay, where only the last few seconds are saved.

Videos created on AMD/Intel are in variable framerate format. Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player.

Note: AMD/Intel screen capture can fail on distros such as Manjaro because those distros disable hardware accelerated h264/hevc. If you use such a distro, then you have to either use another distro or install mesa from source.

AMD/Intel: Add support for capturing cursor when recording a monitor. Fix some cases of capture being glitched when using multiple monitors.

Enable AMD/Intel monitor capture. Requires the flatpak to be installed system-wide and it requires restricted root access. Record a single window if you dont like these restrictions. Videos created on AMD/Intel should be played with MPV otherwise it might have issues such as stuttering.

Add experimental support for AMD/Intel. Quality might not be well tuned yet and the video is in variable framerate mode, which might cause issues with some out of date video editing software or video players. Recording on AMD/intel is currently limited to a window (monitor capture is not possible yet).

Show error when using wayland (because wayland is not supported)

Add option to workaround a NVIDIA driver "bug" that causes framerate to drop a bit when recording (overclock memory transfer rate back to normal)

Make it clear when graphics card is not supported
  • Add VRR record option, only use with VRR as it might have driver issues!
  • Add opus/flac audio options. opus/flac is only supported by .mp4/.mkv. Automatically changes audio codec if not supported by the container

Fix broken replay when recording with audio (possibly broken in normal recording as well)
  • Switch to EGL (fixes possible window capture issues when using a compositor)
  • Add option to change hotkeys
  • Add option to merge audio tracks into one audio track
  • Add option to follow the focused window
  • Add option to force set h264/hevc (services such as discord can't play hevc videos directly in the application)
  • Show proper error when NVIDIA GPU is not in use

Allow choosing between mp4, flv and mkv for record/replay. mkv survives system crashes

Re-enable screen-direct, disable h264 forced fallback and use p6 again

Attempt to fix stuttering in video that can happen sometimes (especially when vsync is enabled)

Properly fallback to h264 if hevc is not supported by the gpu

Fix livestreaming: flv does not properly fallback to h264

Use lower preset on older gpus (kepler) and switch to h264 if h265 is not supported

Tune options to try and reduce file size

Better tune quality options for different resolutions

Fix crash caused by invalid memory write when recording audio

Fix possible pulseaudio crash

Fixes some streaming issues (mostly metadata missing)
