Note
At least one recording backend (gpu-screen-recorder or wf-recorder) is required for video capture. gpu-screen-recorder is recommended for optimal performance, pause/resume support, and audio (supports both native package and Flatpak com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder); wf-recorder serves as a lightweight CPU-based alternative (video only, pause/resume not supported).
If using Flatpak GPU Screen Recorder, system installation is recommended for proper KMS/DRI screen capture permissions (pkill on host is used to control pause/stop/cancel):
flatpak install --system com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorderVia DMS CLI:
dms plugins install quickCaptureOr manually:
git clone https://github.com/hthienloc/dms-quick-capture ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/quickCaptureQuick Capture supports native DMS 1.6+ sideload translations located in translations/<locale>.json.
Translations are crowdsourced and managed online via POEditor:
