Spectacle just gained a screen recording feature; see https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/merge_requests/176.
It currently relies on vlc-qt (https://github.com/vlc-qt/vlc-qt), which is not packaged in Fedora.
Currently displaying the new UI for this feature is not gated on the presence of that library, which is a KDE issue that we'll have fixed before the release in April. But, it's possible that the KDE solution will be to make vlc-qt a mandatory dependency, rather than hiding the screen recording UI when vlc-qt is absent. So I wanted to provide a heads-up about that. The optimal solution from the KDE perspective is to have vlc-qt packaged so this functionality can work out of the box.

I'm looking into it...
:skull:
Another option is to replace the vlc-qt dependency with QtMultiMedia, which we are also investigating: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/merge_requests/188
That would be way better!
@ngraham @apol that led me down a rabbithole to realize that screen recording would be broken in Fedora since it uses libx264, thus this MR: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kpipewire/-/merge_requests/19
No longer needed I believe.
Yup, it's gone now, so this is moot: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle/-/commit/87ed76f83d185ec5def0420078c33b16b480eb98
