In reply to Ian Allen. @Ian, Green Recorder has been discontinued and is no longer available. I have updated this article with Blue Recorder which is a fork of Green Recorder. You can consider using other screen recording applications for your needs such as Kooha, Peek, or SimpleScreenRecorder.

The “updated” date on this article is wrong. The repository doesn’t work for current versions of Ubuntu, e.g. focal. The video link is broken.

Hmm, I see.

Well, you can always use Gyazo or Peek instead:

Peek -> https://www.fossmint.com/peek-gif-screen-recorder-for-linux/

Your repository looks like a really evil one.

I upgrade my system to the newest packages, after adding your repository the systems likes to upgrade 16 packages.

After removing your repository all upgrades are gone.

I am sure, this is one of the repositories killing my whole system. That happens already many times before. That’s why I am checking always, instead adding blind repositories.

I'm using Manjaro (Arch Linux), installed no problem with yaourt. Nice program, captures alsa/pulse audio sound and screen content from Krita window without much lag. Very simple to use. Also works recording Krita with OpenGL turned on. I found this looking for an alternative to OBS, which won't work on my laptop because the GPU was not supported and OpenGL version was too old. So I would definitely recommend this for screen recording on older systems or when system resources are an issue. Thanks!

I use Simple Screen Recorder to create some videos for my training purpose, but thanks to this tiny tool, seems promising, will surely try right away..
