A cross-platform screen capture application that is able to record a user-defined area on screen. Depending on the output format, audio (& mic) capture is also supported.
On Linux there is an awesome screen capture application (Peek) but on Windows I cannot find anything. That's why this project is created.
OK, I learned the existence of OBS Studio, and have switched to using that.
Feel free to use this app as GIF capture only, and I'll add audio capture support to Windows in the future.

Global Hotkey:
The program will select from (F10, F9, F8, F7, F6) or raise error if none can be registered. See Control on app UI for details (F10 is the default).
At most 5 instance of this application can be launched at the same time!
Current supported platforms are:
- Linux (X11 backend)
- Windows
Right now capturing on secondary monitors is not supported yet.

Windows Additional Libs
The following libs are required for Windows static build, but should all exist in a standard Windows environment:
- comdlg32.lib
- mfplat.lib
- mfuuid.lib
- strmiids.lib
- secur32.lib
- shlwapi.lib
- vfw32.lib
- ws2_32.lib
- bcrypt.lib
First pull the repo and run:
git submodule update --init --recursiveSteps for Linux
On linux, make sure ffmpeg (version 5.0) and related libav libraries are installed. If you are not sure:
ldconfig -p | grep libav
ldconfig -p | grep libswand look for the following libraries:
libavdevicelibavfilterlibavformatlibavcodeclibswresamplelibswscalelibavutil
If you are not using X11, run following:
export GDK_BACKEND=x11to force x11 backend.
Then init build files:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..Build (Linux):
make -j4Build (Windows):
cmake --build . --config ReleaseExecutable is under bin folder
Note that on Windows it is a static build, while on Linux it is shared
