proper audio recording of a video conference does not work #959

I am using your simplescreenrecorder on Manjaro Linux (archlinux modified). You have made a very simple but powerful program. Congratulations.

My question. Is there any way for settings to record a video conference session regarding also fetching a proper audio, e.g with jitsi, bigbluebutton et cetera?

For recording my own audio best is to select my microphone in use. On the other hand to record the audio of others in the conference the best is to monitor internal audio. There are 2 options for selection of internal audio. I do not understand the difference as well.

Do you have any solution for this "conflict"?´

the simplest solution, to be blunt, would be for you to take note of the internal audio options, as well as whether you are using ALSA or PulseAudio, and then search the relevant audio provider's documentation in order to understand the two options.

This is a somewhat unhelpful response, I recognize, and I'm sorry for that.

The situation you are in is that the options you have for internal audio streams are not created or managed by ssr - they are simply observed by ssr and made available.

A solution which may work for you if you are using PulseAudio would be to set up and use microphone loopback, so that your microphone is audible on the internal monitor stream. This may produce unacceptable echo for you or for your participants, however. You will need to read the PulseAudio (or ALSA) manual.
