RecordMyDesktop como alternativa Linux a OBS MultiPlatform
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
RecordMyDesktop is not a good replacement for OBS MultiPlatform for users who need live streaming, multi-source composition, or webcam integration. It’s suited only for users who need basic, local screen recordings with minimal setup. It lacks scene management, streaming, hardware encoding, and modern audio mixing. While lightweight and simple, it doesn’t support today’s typical streaming workflows. If your goal is straightforward desktop capture without extras, it works—but most OBS users will find it too limited.

Abrir tus archivos de OBS MultiPlatform
RecordMyDesktop outputs only in Ogg Theora (.ogg), which is not commonly used in OBS workflows. OBS typically uses MP4, FLV, or MOV formats. While Ogg files can be converted using tools like ffmpeg, they cannot be directly imported into OBS as sources or edited in most non-Linux video editors without conversion. There is no native compatibility between RecordMyDesktop output and OBS project files.

- Use gtk-recordMyDesktop or qt-recordMyDesktop for a GUI
- Select recording area and adjust mic/sound settings before starting

Does RecordMyDesktop capture webcam video?
No, it only records the desktop screen and system audio. Webcam integration is not supported, unlike OBS which allows multiple video sources.
