Screen Recorder: can we have a behaviour similar to screenshot after recording?

Hi,

are there somewhere any advanced settings for the screen recorder? After finishing a recording, I would like it

  • to not open a browser window with the video
  • to show a preview in a small window in the bottom right corner (like the screenshot behaviour)
  • Allowing me to drag that window into a Github comment box to directly upload the video there
  • automatically copy the video into clipboard (if it's below 10mb or whatever), so I can paste it
  • not wait 3s for the recording to begin

I'm using Mac OS. I would like to quickly record something on screen and share it in Slack or Github. I know I can share the link but that's not the same – as the recipients need then to click on link. I really appreciate that the file size is much smaller than the native Mac OS screen recording but sharing video snippets is cumbersome.

Best,
Konrad
