"GNOME Shell has a built-in feature that allows video recording of the
desktop activity. This makes it easy to create high quality
screencasts describing the current state of GNOME Shell, but also
enables users to make screencasts of their desktop or any particular
program. In the future, this feature can be used by some programs for
performing usability studies.

Control+Shift+Alt+R keybinding starts and stops the recording. A red
circle is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen when the
recording is in progress. After the recording is finished, a file
named 'shell-%d%u-%c.ogg' is saved in the home directory. In the
filename, %d is the date, %u is a string that makes the filename
unique, and %c is a counter that is incremented each time a recording
is made within a single gnome-shell session. "
