Peek makes it easy to create short screencasts of a screen area. It was built for the specific use case of recording screen areas, e.g. for easily showing UI features of your own apps or for showing a bug in bug reports. With Peek you simply place the Peek window over the area you want to record and press "Record". Peek is optimized for generating animated GIFs, but you can also directly record to WebM or MP4 if you prefer.
Features:
- Select a screen region to record
- Save recorded video as an optimized animated GIF
- Record directly to WebM or MP4 format
- Simple user interface optimized for the task
- Automatically downscale recorded videos
- Support for HiDPI screens
- Works inside a GNOME Shell Wayland session (using XWayland)
Peek is not a general purpose screencast app with extended features but rather focuses on the single task of creating small, silent screencasts of an area of the screen for creating GIF animations or silent WebM or MP4 videos.

Unfortunatelly is not working on LMDE 6 (both version: flathub and system package)
I just loaded on machine with Linux Mint 20.2 and it seems to work fairly well. Recorded a couple of short videos with not trouble.
Easy to use, but for some reason it between the opened software I'm recording and the desktop wallpaper. Almost like it's seeing through the open app.
I made a recording for 1 hour and a half, when I went to save, I kept thinking for 5 hours and didn't save anything. It was something very important.
Literally could not be easier. A bit big in size, but works amazingly. Highly recommended.
