Cross-platform screencast tool with audio, camera, and annotation features
vokoscreenNG records full screen, selected areas, or windows on Windows and Linux, supports multiple audio sources, webcam overlay, and handy tools like countdown, timer, magnifier, and click highlighting.
vokoscreenNG is a free screen‑recording application for Windows and Linux. It targets educators, developers, and anyone who needs to capture on‑screen activity with optional webcam overlay. The tool supports full‑screen, region, and (on Linux) window capture, making it flexible for diverse workflows.
The recorder can pull audio from several sources simultaneously and export to mkv or mp4 using the GStreamer framework. Built‑in utilities such as a countdown timer, magnifying glass, Showclick, and Halo help highlight actions during recording. Multilingual support is provided through community translations on Transifex, and the UI adapts to the selected language.
Linux users can install vokoscreenNG from the official repositories of Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Arch, and NixOS. Windows binaries are available on the project’s download page. The source builds with Qt 6 and requires standard GStreamer plugins; developers may compile from source following the provided make‑install steps. Contributions are welcomed under the GPL‑2.0 license, with each file needing the appropriate license header.
When teams consider vokoscreenNG, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
