Little Red Dot

 
I saw this little angry red dot next to the clock earlier today.
I clicked on it, it said "info" and Remove 'XApp Status Applet'
Selecting info only showed me info regarding XApp Status Applet.


 

It turns out it was the built-in screen recorder.


I use Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon, and just as in other Linux desktop environments, you have a built-in screen recorder that activates/deactivates with CTRL ALT Shift R.
IT saves the file in /Videos. In Cinnamon, the filename starts with cinnamon and can look something like this cinnamon-2024-10-12T125401+0200.webm



Shortcut Key Command: Activate/Deactivate CTRL ALT Shift R
Save file location: ~/videos
