Gnome Screen Recorder

Hi,

I'm using Gnome 47 with X11 and alsa/pulse sound system,

On that system setup I do not see Gnome Screen Record button. I guess I miss gst-plugin-pipewire.

I would like not to have my sound system managed by pipewire, although most of the pipewire stuff are already installed on my desktop (different program dependence)

The question is: If I would install gst-plugin-pipewire and still not configure pipewire, the gnome screen record button would appear and would be working?

Re: Gnome Screen Recorder

it should, you can use pipewire/the screen recording integration without the audio parts (... make sure you use pipewire-media-session as the backend (or if you opt for wireplumber configure it to not handle audio)
