I would like to use the built-in screencast tool, but the only thing which is configurable seems to be the max. duration (default is 30 sec. only) and the Hotkey via Dconf Editor, I would like to set other parameters like:
Anyone knows if something like this is planned?
I don’t think so. It’s meant to be a really simple recorder without the advanced features you require (and I can’t seem to find docs for it at the moment). Try something like Peek, which has more advanced features:
If at least the default CODEC was VP9 not VP8 (which is slower and has worse quality) I could handle it by recording audio separately using Sound Recorder - Peek is not even starting on my machine… requires a running Gnome shell session…
Previously I was using EasyScreenCast - GNOME Shell Extensions but it stopped working with latest Gnome.
It’s best to file a bug in that case. Preferably upstream:
Hrm, it didn’t work for me when I tried the icon in the activities menu, but from the terminal it loads fine. It’s a Flatpak, so we’ll have to file a bug at Flathub (Fedora doesn’t manage Flathub).
flatpak run com.uploadedlobster.peek
It probably hasn’t been updated to work with the new gnome shell 3.38 that Fedora 33 comes with.
