This article guides you to record your screen + audio with Kazam in GNU/Linux. For short, this is how you can do screencasting in GNU/Linux, like what you do with Camtasia Studio or such program in Windows. Kazam is GUI based (no command line) and is very simple to use (has very few buttons) so I hope by reading this, soon you can do your screencastings in GNU/Linux. Enjoy.

Many people ask for Camtasia Studio replacement in Linux. Actually there are many solutions in Linux such as RecordMyDesktop, Vokoscreen, Istanbul, Kazam, ffmpeg, even VLC. But among the available softwares, I choose SimpleScreenRecorder. It is because (according to my experience) I get the best compromise between quality and perfomance. I ever tried many of them but my system crashes many time because of the resource requirement. Here is my simple explanation on how to use SimpleScreenRecorder and Keymon to create video tutorial (screencast, screen record). I assumed you have installed both of them.
