It has a Qt-based graphical user interface. It can record the entire screen or part of it, or record OpenGL applications directly(currently not supported in snap distribution). The recording can be paused and resumed at any time. Many different file formats and codecs are supported. **Key features** * Synchronizes audio and video properly. * Reduces the video frame rate if your computer is too slow. * Fully multithreaded: small delays in any of the components will never block the other components, resulting is smoother video and better performance on computers with multiple processors. * Can also do live streaming (experimental). **Known issue** Currently OpenGL recording is not supported by this build due to the confinement and library separation nature of snap apps. **Disclaimer** This is NOT an official SimpleScreenRecorder distribution, refer [the snap's issue tracker]() for support. ### Package name * simplescreenrecorder-brlin --- ### License * GPL-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 24 March 2019 - latest/stable * 21 November 2025 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap](https://github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap "https://github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap") --- ### Contact * [github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap/issues](https://github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap/issues "https://github.com/Lin-Buo-Ren/simplescreenrecorder-snap/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/simplescreenrecorder-brlin/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install SimpleScreenRecorder (UNOFFICIAL) 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 ``` ### Install SimpleScreenRecorder (UNOFFICIAL) To install SimpleScreenRecorder (UNOFFICIAL), simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install simplescreenrecorder-brlin ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
