Thanks for the suggestions.
What tools are available to record video on a Kindle (I've seen some on Reddit)?
I could take screenshots, but that won’t work in this case.

Not sure. I'm on kobo and never searched for screen-mirroring, VNC, screen-recording stuff.
If recording from e-ink device is absolute necessary (e.g. to show E-Ink specific settings/flashes etc) then check if it works https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150434 then record from PC.
Otherwise use Desktop KOReader for screen recording.

Not sure if it's worth for the effort as most likely we're doing it for special use-case like this...Better simply just record with phone camera🫣

Here's a new version for v2025-04-52 and above (preset code has changed a lot). Here's the feature request.

why link needs to be fixed with the relevant pull request.

I'm not sure I understand ?
