Kooha vs Vidyard

Kooha is a free Linux desktop screen recorder with a minimal interface. It records a full monitor or a selected portion of the screen and can capture microphone audio, desktop audio, or both together. Recordings can be saved as WebM, MP4, GIF, or Matroska files. Users can configure the save location, pointer visibility, frame rate, and recording delay. Kooha requires PipeWire, its GStreamer plugin, and xdg-desktop-portal with a portal backend such as GTK, KDE, or wlroots. Flatpak is officially supported, while third-party packages are not officially supported by the developer. Hardware-accelerated encoding is experimental and disabled by default because of stability and performance concerns. Experimental capture can target a specific window or multiple monitors or windows, with possible flickering and stability issues. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and points users to GitHub issues for support.
