#### A simple screen recorder for Linux desktop. Supports Wayland & Xorg

A simple desktop recorder for Linux systems. Built using **Rust**, GTK+ 4, Gstreamer and ffmpeg. It supports recording audio and video on almost all Linux interfaces (**also support Wayland and Xorg**).
The following formats are currently supported: mkv, avi, mp4, wmv, gif and nut.
You can stop the recording process easily by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Stop Record". Or middle-clicking the recording icon in the notifications area (but doesn't work on all interfaces).
You can choose the audio input source you want from the list.
You can also set the default values you want by simply changing them in the interface, and the program will save them for you for the next time you open it.

\*\* NOTICE: Based on GREEN RECORDER and rewritten in Rust \*\*

\*\* Source: <https://github.com/xlmnxp/blue-recorder> \*\*

you need to connect audio-record and screencast-legacy to make Blue Recorder work fine

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Blue Recorder

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
