Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism. Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

In the README: "Windows 10 or newer"

  To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.

    Don't know why you're being downvoted, I build .NET code in Visual Studio on Windows 10 and execute it on my Raspberry Pi frequently. .NET is certainly not a Windows-only technology.

  Yes but it's buried down in the `Build` instructions. It should be in the About section: "A simple recording program for Windows with the ability to record screens and audio on your computer." (emphasis mine)

  Yikes! win 10 or newer? Win 10 has screen record, with or without audio, built in. I'm always looking for quick simple browser based things to suggest to friends, and if there is anything cheaper than corel videostudio (when it's on sale) - for win 8, win 7 - which is my preferred tool for the past so many years. I do suggest putting win 10 only prominently.

    there once 2 people shared their own projects about browser recording plugin which very handy, but I lost the thread and can't find it anymore...

Adding it to the Post title would be great as well.

I think that part is assumed as Gnome/Linux and MacOSX have it built in?

  Windows 10 has it built-in too, try Win+Alt+R.

    Addendum: It's part of the XBox game bar. In case you are wondering where your recordings are, press Win+G. It didn't work for me the first time - I had to open the game bar first. Also, I had to focus a Window. I cannot record the full desktop with this technique, so it's not quite the same as the linked application.

    Or Win+Shift+S. I think you need to be on a newer Windows 10 release for it to work. Still not as smooth as on macOS, but getting there.
    - sbarre 5y ago
      I believe Win+Shift+S is only for capturing images, not video. I'm on the latest Windows 10 and I still only see static image capture options.

    The Windows 10 screen recorder doesn't let you record Windows Explorer.

  What is the built in utility you're using on Linux for this? AFAIK, you need to download a separate utility for recording screens on Linux, or it comes with your desktop environment.
