  1. I got .webm video recorded, but no .opus sound, while I was able to choose this option in VBox 6.0.8 on Windows. Maybe I could try little newer version like 6.1 but I wanted to save time time and did not download the newest. BTW I checked the level of my Microphone in Configuration Screen. VBox should do what it pretends to be able to, or say what’s wrong or why it is not possible, to my opinion, so that we can work it out.

  2. This simply doesn’t work for me. I’ve followed every step in this guide and also in others I’ve found.
    It generates a 1kb .webm file which sticks at between 250-264 bytes. I’ve tried it on two different Windows 10 host machines and the same thing happens on both.
    The film reel spins happily away pretending to be recording the screen but it’s not actually doing anything.
    It’s a shame because this would be an extremely useful feature if it worked properly.
