Blue Recorder is simple screen recorder and it support Wayland and Xorg
I got some 1/5 reviews in Store because some users not want to read the description about required connections to make the application work great
The application need audio-record to recorder Wayland and XOrg,
and it need screencast-legacy to record wayland
+1 from me for auto-connect audio-record and screencast-legacy to blue-recorder since both are a clear requirement for a screen recorder application.
Can other @reviewers please vote?
+1 from me for audio-record. I am not so convinced about auto-connect of screencast-legacy - other snaps such as browsers etc can work fine with screen recording on wayland using portals via the desktop interface - and this provides a better UI IMO as well. I also note this was suggested previously at Can I use org.gnome.shell.screencast dbus for wayland support? - would it be possible to use this instead?
Blue Recorder work in distros Wayland+Pipewire without connect screencast-legacy
but for old version of Ubuntu and some other distros its need screencast-legacy to be connected
+1 from me for both auto-connections.

@alexmurray are you satisifed with the explanation regarding why screencast-legacy is needed as well?
Thanks for the updated explanation @SYaslem - +1 from me for screencast-legacy as well for blue-recorder

Hello, semi experienced Ubuntu linux user here, Can anyone post the terminal commands to connect the Audio record and Screen cast legacy for this Blue screen recorder here ? I’m using the latest Ubuntu LTS 22.04… I don’t know a lot about programming in the Terminal, But I can copy and paste like a pro Lol, Thanks! Mook
It should be auto connected now. May be try to reinstall once.
hello Soumyadeep,
currently Blue Recorder is not working with Snap and I suggest you to use flatpak version
https://flathub.org/apps/sa.sy.bluerecorder
there issues with snap version that prevent us from include pipewire in runtime you can follow here: Failed to build snap with Pipewire - #6 by ogra
