I have been using Snap 11 for a long time primarily for screen video recording, and it has worked well. Now upgraded to version 15 and it is working equally well. It is a keeper. (This is in contrast to version 12 which required setting security exceptions for some executables which I had decided not to go with. No such issue with version 15.)

Snap is able to capture screen as a video for the primary monitor, specified hand-drawn rectangle, fixed-size rectangle placed around, etc. There are plenty of options to reduce resolution, capture mouse cursor, for where to save, and many others.

I wish it also had the option to capture a secondary monitor. To capture that, either you need to make that the primary monitor, or use the rectangles method above which is an extra step and is hard to place the rectangles perfectly.

There are two things that I have not been able to figure yet:

1. If I hide the video recording controls during the screen recording, Snap 11 used to create an icon on the system tray to make it come back again. Version 15 is not doing that anymore. So to just stop a recording, I had to start another one, which prompted to stop the ongoing recording.

2. When the video recording is stopped, it opens Video Editor automatically. With Snap 11, I was able to set it up to not open as I do not need any edits made and rather would not want to make any accidental edits. With Snap 15, I have so far not been able to find that option anywhere.

Another good video recording software is OBS Studio, which is free and open source. It is very powerful too, but is more complex to set up.
