🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Kazam hands you a well designed and easy to use interface for capturing screencasts and screenshots. no cap, that's literally what it does.

the way that she can record desktop video and multiple audio streams simultaneously?? with control over your audio levels AND the screen region being captured?? obsessed. absolutely iconic. you get to pick what goes in the frame and how loud it yells. 🎀
