Permissions
Allowing Screenflick to record your screen, audio, camera and key presses.
For Screenflick to record your screen, audio, video camera, and key presses, individual permissions must be given for each of these. When Screenflick is launched for the first time or does not have these permissions, you should see a setup process for requesting these permissions.
Keyboard Event Access #
For Screenflick to record keyboard events, the system setting must be turned on in the Privacy system preferences. Allowing Screenflick under Accessibility is how you turn it on, and the steps below show where to find it.
Permissions Troubles #
If for some reason you suspect an issue with Screenflick having permissions (such as mouse clicks and key presses are not being displayed even though it appears Screenflick has permissions), then you can reset the system permissions for Screenflick manually.
