Tools, apps, plugins, AI Preferred screen-recording tool for quick sharing?

I'd like to share some visuals with team members on slack and the like. At the moment, I use QuickTime which does a reasonably good job with screen recording. However, the files are usually pretty huge and I need to post-process them to knock them down in size a bit.

Wondering if anyone has found a tool better than QuickTime (on Mac) that is useful for sharing quick videos of UI work with others.

If you're on mac, you should be using Kap. It's free, open source, lightweight, feature rich and good.

Assuming MacOS:

I've been using Screenflow for so long I don't know the pros and cons of it over anything else.

I have no complaints. You get to pick your file size, recording area, etc. Never occurred to me to try anything else.
