yes this should be possible, on another OS I use a script using 3 ffmpeg processes to record the desktop + audio

I found this page Capture/Desktop – FFmpeg

But it doesn’t have pipewire settings.

Looks like it’s not yet available

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10742

ffmpeg-free available in 2025 for R4.2

I can’t find ffmpeg in dom0 packages list.

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=search ffmpeg

It’s there indeed! I was using dnf search :woman_facepalming:

Is there a “GUI”, like screenshot to execute a “screen recording”? Or is the ability to “screen record” ran from a terminal session?

This is AWESOME!!! Thanks who ever made this possible…

You can thank people packaging in Fedora and authors of ffmpeg and all transitive dependencies (that’s a lot of people! :D)
