Amazing. One little thing-could you let the user have a single default setting for single click starting of registration?
liked it
Chrome 92.0.4515.159 on macOS 11.5.2: does not record sound with setting "Screen + Speakers", tried it 3x, based on previous comments. Just one star.
PS
Surprisingly: I also gave "Chrome Tab" a try, and it did record the sound too.
PPS
But... while recording "Chrome Tab", the speakers get muted, but the sound is recorded. That's not good when you're in a meeting, and want to record it locally, because you're not hearing what the others say... I updated my review to three stars.
Note: I also needed to activate the option "Fix video seeking issues?", without it I was not able to scroll/seek forward/backward in the recording when playing it with Chrome or VLC.
