Public bug reported:

Ubuntu docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/screen-shot-
record.html are incorrectly sayig to mis-use this Gnome feature as a
user-focussed 'Make a Screencast'

According to the Gnome developers who implement/maintain this feature,
it's only to be used for recording 30-second snippets and reporting bugs
in Gnome.

By design there is no warning that a screen-recording has been
terminated at the 30 seconds mark, and it should (apparently) never be
used for general screen-recordings. Ubuntu is encouraging people to mis-
use this feature and thereby lose data (many bug reports against Gnome
going back 5+ years of people requesting it be changed, closed as
WONTFIX / by-design).

It's non-trivial to make the feature work as described in the ubuntu
docs, and there's no mention that it's hardcoded to 30 seconds max.
