Product Positioning & Context

AI Executive Synthesis
Delivering reliable, professional-grade screen recording functionality across supported operating systems, specifically Linux, for 'professional product videos, demos, and tutorials'.
This bug report exposes a critical functional defect in Recordly's cursor following feature on Linux, directly impacting its utility for 'professional product videos, demos, and tutorials.' Despite a proposed fix, the issue persists, with specific user reports detailing erratic behavior, multi-monitor complications, and functionality limited to the application window. The underlying cause appears linked to Electron's capture path limitations on Linux. This failure to deliver core recording functionality on a major OS undermines Recordly's market positioning as a professional tool. Unreliable cursor tracking renders demos and tutorials unprofessional, creating a significant barrier to adoption for Linux-based users in a B2B context.

This would be a great feature. A floating preview window of your camera during recording

Also, **there's a selection that I didn't include showing up** :(

Yes, audio not recording still 😢
Tried now version 1.1.9

@matomitw @webadderall I have described the Recordly errors on [Windows in more detail here for v1.1.9](https://github.com/webadderall/Recordly/issues/140)

version v1.1.8 auto update is working but still the audio and webcam are not working. I redownloaded v1.1.5 the audio and webcam are working fine.
webadderall • Mar 29, 2026
Still present in v1.1.7? Also, is auto-updating working for you?

现在翻译那么方便的,用什么语言反馈留言已经不重要了吧?哈哈,好吧好吧,我已经翻译了英文贴上去了,希望能实现,谢谢!

I hope that in the process of recording the screen and turning on the camera recording at the same time, the camera picture can be displayed on the desktop, and the position and shape of the camera picture can be freely adjusted. It would be better if the camera picture frame can be removed and the camera picture can be directly suspended on the screen recording screen;Another function suggestion is to add the shortcut key display function during the screen recording process. Thank you for your hard work.

On macOS, after I save or export a project, the video preview inside the app stays frozen on the last frame I previewed — the audio plays well though.

Thanks for working on this project and making it available to everyone!

> Hi webadderall. First of all, I absolutely love this project. I downloaded and tried out the latest release (v1.1.6) and it says "Native window capture failed, falling back to browser based capture" when I try to record. When I preview the recording, I can see my original cursor in the recording along with Recordly's cursor. To fix this, I tried downgrading to v1.1.5 and v1.1.4. The original issue was fixed in these versions and I didn't get the windows capture failed error. However, after recording, it says "Failed to load video file" and never lets me preview the video,

Translation: [Feature]: I hope that while screen recording is being done with the webcam, the webcam image can be displayed on the desktop, and its position and shape can be freely adjusted. It would be even better if the webcam image could be removed from the frame and float directly above the screen recording. #110

The latest update seems to have introduced a number of regressions, try v1.1.5 for now 😅 A clean update should ship tomorrow or today
