Record Screen using Kalmuri
Select MP4 as your option and press the hotkey to start recording your screen. The MP4 file will also be saved in the same folder. Initially, the screen recording wasn’t working for me and I was getting the error “Error FFMPeg.exe not found”. FFmpeg is an open-source multimedia project made for handling audio, video, and other multimedia streams. So I downloaded and installed FFMPeg from their official website and then I could record my screen using Kalmuri.
To adjust the settings of Kalmuri, just take your cursor on the main window and right-click. From here you can change the folder you want to save your screenshots in, change the Hotkey from PrtSc to any other key, change the language, filename, etc.
From the Recorder setting, you can adjust if you want to record your screen with or without sound and can also adjust the further Sound Settings. If you want to show the cursor in your screenshots, check the Mouse Cursor option from the dropdown. You can download this tool here. I am sure that you will enjoy using this simple easy-to-use screen capture and recorder software.
