- Start and stop recording the screen whenever you want, without interrupting the progress of your application.
- Start and stop recording directly in your code with
startRecording()andstopRecording(). - Take advantage of META's full capabilities and record your applications running in High Resolution!
META Screen Recorder works on macOS, Linux and Windows.

Looking nice!
Just so you know, quite a few of these are already available in the core library itself! You can start screen recording, or, recording of any Image with myimage.startRecording("recfile.gmv"); and then stop with myimage.stopRecording();.
For Example:
gb.display.startRecording("recfile.gmv");
// some code
gb.display.stopRecording();
You can then grab the gmv file onto your computer and either use the online converter or run it locally on your pc (it is open source!) https://github.com/Gamebuino/gmv-to-gif
As the library only goes via images, though, it won't do direct gb.tft access stuffs.

Hi Soru,
Thank you for that clarification. In fact, at the beginning, I had made this tool for my needs: to make screenshots in high resolution. And as I find it really very practical, I thought it would be nice to share it. So I added support for the standard resolution.
In addition, I found it really painful to have to grab my screenshots on the microSD. It's too much handling, especially when you have to do it 10 times to get the perfect recording... So it's much more convenient to retrieve the recordings live on your PC, when the META is connected to its USB cable...
