Kazam como alternativa Linux ao NVIDIA ShadowPlay
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Kazam is a poor replacement for NVIDIA ShadowPlay for gamers or performance-sensitive users. While it handles basic screen recording and screenshots on Linux, it lacks GPU acceleration, retroactive recording, and efficient H.264/HEVC encoding. It works for casual desktop recording with low system impact only if sessions are short and quality demands low. Users needing reliable, high-performance gameplay capture will find it insufficient. It's only suitable for users prioritizing simplicity over features, recording non-demanding applications, or capturing short clips without concern for encoding efficiency or lag.

O que funciona igual
- Both allow full-screen or region-based screen recording
- Support screenshot capture during recording sessions
- Offer simple, one-click start for recordings

- No retroactive recording (save last moments) feature
- Does not support HEVC; output limited to VP8/VP9 in WebM or basic H.264 in MP4
- No live streaming capability to platforms like Twitch or YouTube
- Not actively maintained — discontinued project with no updates since 2017
Abrindo seus arquivos do NVIDIA ShadowPlay
Kazam saves recordings in WebM or MP4, while NVIDIA ShadowPlay uses MP4 (H.264) or MKV (HEVC). You cannot directly open ShadowPlay files in Kazam, but standard media players and editors on Linux can read ShadowPlay's MP4 output. Conversion may be needed for editing if using HEVC. Kazam's WebM files are less compatible with Windows-only tools, but widely playable otherwise.
Trocando o NVIDIA ShadowPlay pelo Kazam, passo a passo
- Install Kazam via 'sudo apt install kazam' on Debian/Ubuntu
- Test recording with audio enabled to ensure microphone and system sound are captured
- Adjust output format in preferences: choose MP4 for broader compatibility
- Use the timer feature to prepare before recording starts
- Manually manage storage — Kazam does not trim or optimize recordings
Principais recursos do Kazam
- Gravação de tela com suporte a áudio e microfone
- Contagem regressiva antes do início da gravação
- Captura de tela para tela inteira, janela ou seleção
- Interface simples com configuração mínima necessária
- Grava em WebM ou MP4 (dependendo do backend)
- Suporta a gravação de uma região selecionada da tela
- Integração básica com a bandeja do sistema durante a gravação
- Leve e de instalação simples em sistemas baseados em Deibian
