Mattermost Screen Recording Plugin

This plugin adds support for basic screen recording in Mattermost.

Why?

• GIF format is great but it's not meant for screen recording. Video is the solution.
• It can be very time consuming to find a program that captures your screen, configuring and running it. Your browser is the solution.
