• Use a tool like clipchamp, snipping tool or xxx and download the mp4 recording.
• Then download ffmpeg from https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases
• Crate a palette png for better colour quality

PS C:\Users\flo\Downloads\ffmpeg-n8.0-latest-winarm64-gpl-8.0\bin> .\ffmpeg.exe -i "C:\Users\flo\Downloads\win\video.mp4" -vf "fps=15,scale=1024:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen" palette.png

• Convert the mp4 file with the palette.png into a gif

.\ffmpeg.exe -i "C:\Users\flo\Downloads\win\video.mp4" -i palette.png -filter_complex "fps=15,scale=1024:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" output.gif
