The new version of a tool to perform recordings from your desktop (screencasting) call Kazam. Those who perform this type of task often will appreciate the appearance of Kazam, before the lack of good tools for simple, fast and professional desktop recording. The version 0.11, which fixes several bugs and adds new features, but I assure you it looks great.
Among its main characteristics are its simplicity, great video quality and ease of uploading videos to Youtube, etc. |
The new
Those who already knew this tool will want to know what new features this version incorporates:
- User can choose which screen to record
- Recording can be paused
- Options to regulate the quality of the audio and video
- The method to upload the videos to YouTube was simplified
- The ability to go back in the video export window
- Alert when trying to overwrite a file
However, the most noticeable improvements do not come so much from the side of the incorporation of new functionalities (which there are, and many, as we have just seen), but from the important advances in the general stability of the program.
Some of the bugs fixed were:
- Unable to install Kazam on Maverick
- Kazam fails to save the video
- The text in the counting window is not visible
- Pause does not work and hangs the application
If you tried the old version of Kazam and were a little disappointed, I can assure you that this time you will not regret installing it and giving it a try. 🙂

Hi, have you tried Xvidcap Screen Capture ?. It's very good, I advise you to take a look.

Thank you
Well, I am not convinced. I stick with gtk-recordmydesktop without hesitation.
This one is too sparse on options.
When you are uploading the video you have recorded to Youtube or VideoBin you have no idea of the progress of the process.
You cannot interrupt the upload process.
"The user can choose which screen to record", well, if you mean an environment where there is more than one monitor, I don't think it is the most common, however it does not allow selecting a window or a portion of the desktop ...
Anyway, I find it tacky.
Not to mention that when you finish the video you get a window that allows you to »Edit with: Kazaam video session creator»? If I click on that option, it allows me to upload the video to Youtube or VideoBin, not edit it!
