You might find this page useful:

The bottom part of this page is also interesting, although I'm not
sure what kind of screencast it would create:

I use Kazam for my videos, but it isn't capable of
picture-in-picture, which you had specifically mentioned. You might
want to try it if you end up cobbling together multiple solutions,
though, and certainly for times when you don't need
picture-in-picture.

Actually, it seems that Kazam 1.5.3 can do picture-in-picture:

...but that version is in the untrusted archives, so you'd need to
install it from a PPA:
