If you're interested in using the latest version of wf-recorder before Debian makes it available (usually takes a long time), you have to build it from sources as instructed on Github. It was released a few weeks ago.

https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder

However instructions are not fully correct for Raspberry Pis, regarding required dependencies.
Here's what it takes to build and install beyond what's already instructed

Code:

sudo apt install g++ meson libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libpulse-dev
you will also need to install (I did this on a fresh Trixie Desktop install)

Code:

sudo apt install cmake libwayland-dev wayland-protocols libavfilter-dev libgbm-dev libdrm-dev libavdevice-dev libpipewire-0.3-dev
Now you should be able to build and install without warnings or missing features.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder.git && cd wf-recordermeson build --prefix=/usr --buildtype=releaseninja -C build
Test with

Code:

./build/wf-recorder
Install

Code:

sudo ninja -C build install
Been using it for the last few days. No issues...

Have fun screencasting !
