VokoscreenNG is a display recorder for demonstrations and explanations. You choose the area to be recorded and set sound and available additional sources. Tools around cursor or display can make an action more visible.

The available recording features differ between Windows, X11 and Wayland. Therefore, check on your own system which screen and audio sources actually work. A recorder is not a full editor; subsequent extensive editing requires other software.

Our verdict

VokoscreenNG is interesting when you record regular explanations and want more control over sources and display. You can prepare the recording for the action you want to show, without immediately using an extensive live production environment.

That preparation remains necessary. Test the exact combination of screen, sound and any webcam on your own system. Especially with Linux, screen environments can offer different possibilities. For an occasional short shot, a simpler tool might be faster. For recurring instructions, the extra adjustment space can help to create a consistent recording that you only have to cut afterwards.
