You may have a software application and want to demonstrate how to use it to someone else. The best way to do this might be to record how the application functions, allowing others to follow your instructions easily. If this is your goal, Kazam is one of the screen recording tools available for GNU/Linux operating systems, such as Ubuntu, that can help you achieve this.
Steps
Preparing to Record with Kazam
Prepare the application screen for recording with Kazam. Let's say you want to capture the process of creating and editing videos on YouTube Video Editor. Navigate to the YouTube Video Editor screen and adjust the layout to ensure the recording is as convenient as possible.
Start recording with Kazam
Begin the recording.Capture
Start recording
Recording. Once Kazam finishes its countdown to zero, the recording session begins. From this point, you can perform the actions you want to capture in the YouTube Video Editor. You'll also notice that the tiny video camera icon in the top-right corner of your Ubuntu screen changes to a small red circle, indicating that Kazam is now recording.
Pause recording. During the recording, you can click on the tiny video camera icon and select the 'Pause recording' option to temporarily stop the capture. To resume, simply click the same option again.
Stop recording.Finish recording
Recording complete
- If the recording did not turn out as expected, click the Cancel button.
- If you are satisfied with the recording, click the Continue button. This will take you to the screen where you can save your recording file (Save screencast) using Kazam.
Recommendations
- You can use Kazam to capture screenshots, but Ubuntu already has a built-in Screenshot tool to perform this function.
