I want kali linux default screen recorder on my Ubuntu but don't know the name since I do not have the kali linux. The unique property which make me fall in love with it was the icon on the top panel appears once kali linux starts. I tried to find out the default packages of kali linux but everywhere only penetrating tools are listed.

  • Well I guess it should be some configuration that you have to do.. I have never used a screen recorder, but as far as you see it in videos regarding Kali, that they use the same program, then it's probably a simple configuration on recordmydesktop program.

Getting the right Screen Recorder

Although Kali Linux has a screen recorder built-in, I would suggest getting a similar screen recorder that is very easy to install and customize. The name of it is "Simple Screen Recorder".

Why should you use it?

The name says it all. This is a simple screen recorder that can be fully customized to your needs.

Benefits of SSR:

  • SSR is multi-threaded
  • SSR is capable for Live streaming of videos
  • SSR supports many different types of codecs like MKV, WebM, MP4 etc
  • SSR can record on 32-bit OpenGL application within a 64-bit OS

How to Install SSR:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install simplescreenrecorder

The one your talking about is "EasyScreenCast" it is a gnome extension and as @blametheadmin said it uses gtk-recordmydesktop which you can use from terminal or if you would like install jack2 qjackctl and your good to go

    I'm not a Kali user, but why would you add a repository after (trying to) install the application?

  • You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:fossproject/ppa
