Gnome - Record the screen

The built-in Gnome screen recorder does have limitations:

A better full-fledged screen recorder is Kazam.


Start Recording

CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + R

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

CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + R

Increase the recording time

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

Increase it:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys max-screencast-length 300

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

Change it to 0 to not have a limit.
