A & NMGLugers, I found that site correct and clear. A - you already are sudo privileged. I think you and I walked you through a sudo update. Best to get your desired ffmpeg from Debian to start with. If it is not new enough you can try the external repository later. Give it a try. You can call me later. I'm going out for a walk just now. Thank you, Ted P

Thanks for all the response, I found a "straight forward" web install instruction for ffmpeg  using Debian 10. i wish to use the program for recording zoom events as a guest, does anyone rebut?, Thanks

A long time ago (2009) I had success with recordmydesktop:
https://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/recordmydesktop.html
Unfortunately it hasn't seen any development since then, and I've seen
it removed from some package repos due to lack of maintenance. It might
still work if you try it though.

If you run GNOME, it should come with a screen recorder built-in.
But I haven't used it and can't speak to its usability.

Personally I use ffmpeg for this. It's very powerful, if you don't mind
digging through some manuals. E.g.,

ffmpeg -video_size 1680x1050 -framerate 30 -f x11grab -i :0.0 \
        -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast output.mkv

For webcams I use a program called video(1) that comes with OpenBSD.
But it isn't available for Linux; I'm not sure what you would use there.
