From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A screen recorder in the Browser? (slrpnk.net)

I wondered, Browsers work really well, are already there anyways, have all the GPU stuff etc already dealt with. They also have portal support so Wayland works great.

It could use the Browsers screencast ability on all platforms, and run with Javascript and WASM.

The stuff could be installed in a local Podman container and thus also work natively on Linux.

Do you know an app that does this, client-side?

Thanks to the actually helpful people:

screenity, GPLv3, has some nice features

recordscreen.io some random webservice, the recording is supposedly done in the browser. Proprietary.

You lost me on the part where we create an in-browser screen recorder... and then proceed to package it natively.

If you are just lookin for a light screen recording utility, I suggest giving Spectacle a try.

Online screen recorders already exist too, I also don't think it really needs any server side logic either.

Spectacle only runs on KDE afaik, which is not the problem. But it also doesnt really compress much, I dont know if it uses the GPU too.

Agree spectacle + ffmpeg might be a good solution with postprocessing.
