    Kazam vs recordMyDesktop Comments

    It is unfortunate that I cannot include a video here to show the difference between Kazam and RecordMyDesktop. Kazam is easier, faster at encoding, and simply works. In contrast, RecordMyDesktop is very time consuming (especially at the encoding process) and the video is not worth the time to wait for it to simply save the file. If Kazam didn't exist, I just don't know what I'd do.
