Screenflick IconPermissions

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.


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.

  1. Quit Screenflick
  2. Open Terminal, which you can find in /Applications/Utilities
  3. Type: tccutil reset All com.araeliumgroup.screenflick
  4. Press Return
  5. Relaunch Screenflick and add permissions again
