what screen recording extension is built in?

[Kreyren]

@markfirmware I am not aware of any built-in screen recording extension, why are you asking?

[markfirmware]

I want to be able to record a running demo and include it in the readme file. I have seen other repositories with this kind of recording and was under the impression that they were produced using a vscode extension.

As far as I know this is done by a third party software like:

• https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-screen-recorders/
• https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-screen-recorder

Edit: there seems to be such extensions, but I did not test them

• https://github.com/arciisine/vscode-chronicler
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wk-j.screen-recorder
• https://github.com/wk-j/vscode-screen-recorder

Wait, @markfirmware I think I know what you mean, are you talking about something like https://github.com/JesterOrNot/Gitpod-VSCode-Extension-Dev#workflow

@JesterOrNot I don't see how is provided link relevant

[markfirmware]

The question is how was the screen recording in that link produced? Is it done by a a vscode extension that could be built in to gitpod?

OK, I recorded the video using loom to record that video. After you record, loom gives you a link to the video. Simply add the link to the README file and GitHub should display the video. Hope this helps :smiley:
