SimpleScreenRecorder (UNOFFICIAL)

SimpleScreenRecorder (UNOFFICIAL) is an open-source screen recording application for Linux. It is listed in the Video & Media Players category and is intended for users who need to capture activity from a Linux computer. The application can save recordings in multiple file formats and codecs, giving users choices for how recorded video is encoded and stored.

When system performance cannot sustain the selected video frame rate, the application can lower that frame rate so recording can continue under limited conditions. Its fully multithreaded design makes activity in one component less likely to delay activity in another. On computers with multiple processors, this design can support smoother video.

The application also includes experimental live-streaming capability, allowing users to explore streaming captured content instead of only saving a recording. OpenGL recording is not supported by the current snap build because of snap confinement and library separation. This limitation is relevant to Linux users choosing how to install and use the application.

MirrorNest distributes the official build by mirroring it directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. This makes MirrorNest a download source for the mirrored build, while the open-source license places the application within the wider Linux software ecosystem.
