Where Does Kazam Save Recordings?
Kazam saves recordings to Videos by default with preferences in the standard config dir.
Last updated
Kazam writes screen recordings to the Videos folder unless told otherwise. Preferences, counters, and capture settings live separately in the config directory.
Raw captures are large, which makes the save location the first thing to configure. Point it at spacious storage before a long session rather than after the disk fills. Config migrates by copying the config folder; recordings migrate as ordinary video files.
Where Kazam stores this, by platform
~/Videos (default Kazam captures)
Default capture folder for recordings. Change it in preferences before long sessions; raw footage fills disks fast.
~/.config/kazam/kazam.conf
Preferences and counters live here. Copy for migration; recordings themselves are ordinary files wherever the capture folder points.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change where recordings save?
Open preferences and set the capture folder before recording. The default Videos location fills fast with raw footage, so point it at a roomy drive.
