====== Gnome - Record the screen ======

The built-in Gnome screen recorder does have limitations:

  * There is no time delay options before the recordings start.
  * There is no pause and play option.
  * It records the entire screen.  No option to record only an application window or a certain monitor.
  * It only uses webm  format.

A better full-fledged screen recorder is Kazam.

===== Start Recording =====

<code bash>
CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + R
</code>

This will immediately start recording the desktop.

A red dot will be displayed in the system tray area of the top panel.

The recordings are saved in webm format in the Videos folder.

----

===== Stop Recording =====

<code bash>
CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + R
</code>

===== Increase the recording time =====


The maximum recording time, by default, is just 30 seconds.

Increase it:

<code bash>
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys max-screencast-length 300
</code>

This increases the maximum length of the recording to 5 minutes.

Change it to 0 to not have a limit.
