In this new covid-19 world it happens more and more often that I need to record full-screen videos, for example for lectures. This is something that one can do live with Zoom, but that is not the most practical option for non-live recordings.
In Ubuntu there is a nice software, Kazam screencaster, that is perfect for the job, except that it does not get correctly the screen size if you have a high pixel density display (HiDPI): you end up with a video with only the top-left corner of the screen cropped.
