pyscreenrec

pyscreenrec is a small and cross-platform python library for recording screen.

NO LONGER MAINTAINED.

Installation

Install on Windows: pip install pyscreenrec

Install on Linux/macOS: pip3 install pyscreenrec

Example usage

>>> import pyscreenrec
>>> recorder = pyscreenrec.ScreenRecorder()

>>> # to start recording
>>> recorder.start_recording("recording.mp4", 10) 
>>> # 'recording.mp4' is the name of the output video file, may also contain full path like 'C:/Users/<user>/Videos/video.mp4'
>>> # the second parameter(10) is the FPS. You can specify the FPS for the screen recording using the second parameter. It must not be greater than 60.

>>> # to pause recording
>>> recorder.pause_recording()

>>> # to resume recording
>>> recorder.resume_recording()

>>> # to stop recording
>>> recorder.stop_recording()

The stop_recording saves the video and deletes all screenshots used in the session. So calling the stop_recording method is necessary when start_recording is called.

Known limitations

pyscreenrec is yet not able to:

capture the system sound during screen recording
capture only a certain part of the screen
