Ask SI about Kooha

Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Kooha records a monitor or screen region with microphone and desktop audio, offering configurable frame rate, delay and pointer visibility.

Select a monitor or screen region, choose microphone and desktop audio, then set the output location, frame rate and delay. Kooha lists WebM, MP4, GIF and Matroska output for a focused screencast without a live-production scene setup.

The runtime needs PipeWire, the GStreamer PipeWire plugin and a working xdg-desktop-portal backend for the desktop. Hardware encoding, additional formats and window or multiple-source recording are marked experimental and disabled by default because of stability or performance concerns. Check the distribution's portal support before relying on those options.

Strengths

Monitor or region selection keeps simple recordings focused.

Watch out for

Experimental features are disabled by default because of stability and performance concerns.
