FFVideo uses ffmpeg, screen-capture-recorder, and dropbox or server hosting software to make sharing an event on your screen, microphone, webcam, or other device as simple as a button press.
Just press the bound key to record from the desired source, select the boundary (if applicable), then hit the key again to stop recording. The file will already be uploaded to its destination, and you can already paste (control+v) the link for anyone to view what has just been recorded.
This program requires the admin installation of screen-capture-recorder, found at https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-recorder-to-video-windows-free
The FFVideo settings window describes how to check if your installation of screen-capture-recorder has succeeded.
This application is open source, but must not be used commercially or for closed source projects.
I encourage you to include this code and adaptations of it in any program that is both free and open source, with credit.
