How To Install  Kazam Screencaster On Linux Ubuntu And Mint

Kazam is a GStreamer-based screen recording and screenshot tool for Linux. The application supports recording the entire screen (with multi-monitor support), a window or an area and features:

• customizable framerate;
• option to show/hide the mouse when recording;
• record sound from speakers and/or microphone;
• keyboard shortcuts;
• configurable delay before capturing;
• automatic file saving;
• supports mp4 (H264), webm (VP8) and avi (RAW, HUFFYUV and lossless JPEG) video formats.

 

Kazam 1.5.3 was released recently and it includes some very useful new features:

• support for webcams: it can record just the webcam or it can display the webcam in a window on top of the screencast;
• support for broadcasting to YouTube Live;
• added on-screen keyboard indicator and mouse click indicator;
• new countdown timer.
