The GNOME Shell screen recorder gives you basic, no-frills screen capture.

Instead, to access the GNOME Shell screen recorder you need to press a finger-flexing keyboard shortcut (which we’ll show you in a second). It’s included as part of the GNOME Shell desktop and, although it’s well integrated it’s also well hidden: there’s no app launcher for it, no menu entry to it, and no quick button to turn it on or off. Ubuntu comes with built-in screen recorder that’s very well hidden Little known fact: there’s a built-in screen recorder in Ubuntu. Wondering how they do it? Do you want to join the fun? Well, you can and you don’t need any special tools or separate screen capture software to do it. You’ve likely seen videos over on YouTube in which people share a screen recording of their Linux desktop. Have you considered not using one at all?ĭon’t look at me strangely I promise this makes sense! Do you want to record the Ubuntu desktop but you don’t know which desktop screen recorder tool to use?
