Since GNOME&#8217;s built-in screenshot\/screencast tool does not support recording audio, it is a good alternative to record full screen or rectangular area with microphone and desktop audio support. And, it can record your desktop screen into WebM, MP4, GIF, and Matroska formats.<\/p>\n<p>In last 2.2.x release series, Kooha added new area selection UI for better Wayland support. In the new 2.3.0 release, the area selection window now is resizable, so you can have a bigger view when selecting recording area. And, previous selected area is now remembered to make it easy to redo recording last area.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45928\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45928\" class=\"size-large wp-image-45928\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection-700x472.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection-700x472.webp 700w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection-300x202.webp 300w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection-768x518.webp 768w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/kooha-selection.webp 890w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kooha Area Selection Window<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The release also improved the UI, to display current video format as well as FPS (frame rate) in the main app window.
