This a great feature, thanks MakeCode team!
I tried it today in makecode.microbit.org/beta but it shows the "Oops, gif encoder could not load. Please try again." error:
Chrome 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) (64-bit), on macOS Mojave.
We need to update our cloud to serve the gif web worker (funny CORS rules about those). Should be fixed today.
The cloud is deployed. You will need to force an editor reload so add a bit of ?asdkjfalksdjfsa to the URL.
Awesome feature - might there be any way to record for a bit longer, it seems to be very short?
@microbit-giles we've improved the compression of frames. However the image is designed to be uploaded to our cloud so we are limiting the size of the generated gif.
Gif generation has been improved on microbit. @microbit-giles - you should be able to generate longer gifs.
This experiment doesn't seem to be present in the share screen in MakeCode 2022.
