This page describes how to make a video of your desktop and upload it to YouTube in order to show cool desktop features to the public. The video will have sound by default unless you switch off (or mis-configure) your microphone.

record your desktop

  • install and start recordmydesktop, e.g.
sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop
recordmydesktop myvideo

Then you have myvideo, a video with sound.

upload it

advanced tricks

  • wait 5 seconds before recording; record 60 seconds
sleep 5; recordmydesktop & sleep 60; kill $!
  • find out what file has been created by recordmydesktop (most recently)
ls -ltr
  • wait 5 seconds, pop up krep, give 10 seconds to show something, stop recording
sleep 5; krep & recordmydesktop & sleep 10; kill $!

Alternatives
