Is there a screen recorder for GNOME with Wayland?
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.01 LTS. I have spent a lot of time searching for Screen Recorders for the Ubuntu GNOME Wayland.
I have tried several Screen Recorders such as Simple Screen Recorder and Vokoscreen, but the result is only a blank screen with the cursor.
Any suggestions for me?

MaybeShift-Ctrl-Alt-Ris sufficient? See askubuntu.com/a/1013746/504066 (Loosely related question, but shows the shortcuts)

Yes, but I think it's only good for record short screencast. And for me, I need longer duration or duration that I can customize when I record tutorial video. It should be good if there is a way to change its default duration.

It was just an idea. I was surprised to see that a very simple recorder already ships with Ubuntu. Never mind.

Green Recorder claims to support Wayland.
How it works?
It uses the D-Bus API to connect to the built-in screencasting tool in
GNOME Shell. It uses this to record video. To record audio, it
launches an instance of ffmpeg in the background. After the recording
is finished, it merges the two files into the WebM file.
For Xorg, it uses ffmpeg only for both audio and video.
By default, On Wayland only, Green Recorder uses the V8 encoder
instead of the default V9 encoder in GNOME Shell because of the CPU &
RAM consumption issue with V9. Which - now - should also give you
better performance. On Xorg, each format uses its own default encoder.
You can install from "FOSS Project" teams's PPA by running the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fossproject/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install green-recorder

Thanks. I've tried to install Green Recorder and it worked. But till now it only supports webm format as you said too. Maybe I can convert the webm to mp4. Over all it just works and I think it's the only one solution to record screen in Wayland session.
