What vokoscreenNG is
vokoscreenNG is free and open-source software for recording screens on Linux and Windows. It can capture an entire monitor, a selected area, or a window, while taking audio from multiple sources at the same time. Built-in camera support adds webcam video to recordings. Listed output formats include MKV, MP4, and GIF, with H.264 and GIF video options. Audio choices depend on the display system: Linux X11 and Windows list MP3, Opus, FLAC, and Vorbis, while Wayland lists MP3 and Opus. Recording aids include multiscreen support, a system-tray mode, magnifying glass, countdown, timer, Showclick, Halo, snapshot, and a built-in video player for Linux X11 and Windows. The product is translated into over 80 languages. Linux installation guidance covers Flatpak, openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux, and NixOS. The free plan costs nothing.
