Installing Kazam 1.5.3 on Ubuntu 16.10

Question

I wonder how to install Kazam 1.5.3 on Ubuntu 16.10. I tried the following command:

sudo apt-get install kazam

This command installs Kazam 1.4.5, however I need the version which has the option of "Screen recorder + webcam". Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Might sound a bit pedantic, but Ubuntu 16.10 is not an LTS(Long term support) release. So it will be end of life in 9 months. — Bruni, Oct 19 '16 at 08:01
If installing 14.04 instead of 16.10 is an option, that would be best, as the Kazam PPA only provides packages for 14.04. Otherwise, you could try installing those packages on 16.10, but it could cause issues. — fkraiem, Oct 19 '16 at 08:14

On my system, this still installs 1.4.5 and not 1.5.3 – JG Estiot Jun 22 '19 at 01:42

Thanks @suresh for your answer. Are you sure that these commands install Kazam 1.5.3? On my machine with Ubuntu 16.10 LTS, these commands install Kazam 1.4.5-2. – MYaseen208 Oct 19 '16 at 07:35

This PPA does not provide packages for Yakkety. – fkraiem Oct 19 '16 at 08:11
yes using above commands you will get installed kazam 1.5.3 – suresh varma Oct 19 '16 at 08:28
This is unstable series ppa provided by kazam build team. It installs the current unstable version (going on in production) not necessarily 1.5.3 – Sudip Bhandari Apr 16 '18 at 07:07
