LICEcap 1.32 is not working on macOS Sonoma

[jkwuc89]

When I attempt to record a screencast, I am unable to click through the LICECap window onto the window or the part of the screen I want to record. The clicks are ignored.

[ghost]

Yes, I have the same problem too and I'm glad that you reported it, @jkwuc89

[IvyCodes]

Same here! I've tried the solution suggested here with no success.

[ghost]

Yeah @IvyCodes , I just did what was suggested in the link you gave me and I can confirm on video that it doesn't work anymore.

same situation with having upgraded from macOS Ventura to macOS Sonoma - clicking inside the .gif recording dialog no longer works. problematic since i need Licecap to work to do work.

Hi everyone, I have a solution for this on MACOS SONOMA
When I click on Start Recording from the LiceCap window, then I minimize the Licecap window and after finishing record I will open the Licecap from the taskbar and click on STOP.
It worked for me and I hope it will work for you too XD.
If it worked for you, give me a feedback \m/

This worked. Start the recording, minimize the LICEcap widow, do the stuff you want recorded, restore the LICEcap window and stop the recording.

Your workaround does me good. Thank you very much!

Same here, Is this project still being maintained?

Great trick!

But this still needs a fix. Not the best UX 😅

[henriquekieckbusch]

I think it doesn't work if you have Stage Manager enabled

I'm having this issue plus I am getting a black gif with my cursor moving around and echoing... Its not showing the image at all. I removed and re-added LiceCAP to the Screen Recording System Preferences setting and its good again, but when I try to record on a secondary display, it goes black as it did before, so I have to remove and re-add for it to work... Frustrating. When it does work, the workaround that leehary shared above does work.

Are you trying to screen-record a part of a coding tutorial? If so that's not a bug, that is a counter measure that some websites use to stop people from copying paid teaching content.

That actually isn't the problem... Still not working all applications closed. Black background even on my desktop with only LiceCAP running.... I have 3 external displays running, tried a recording on each and the MacBook display and just black with my cursor moving around...

hi you suggestion worked

As for the other issue about not being able to capture in other monitors I just resolve to capture stuff in the original mac monitor, this is a temporary work around until a bug fix arrive.

This doesnt work for me.

[spirosrap]

The workaround doesn't work for me either. I see the app was developed in objective C, perhaps there's an easy way to fix this, if I come up with a solution, I will share it.

The app is fantastic, it creates the lightest possible gif, way better than the competition.

Edit: You correctly capture inside the window if you minimize it using "Ctrl+H". It's not working by minimizing with clicking on the orange button.

Hi guys, since I upgraded to Sonoma 14.1, Licecap now working normally. :D

Can confirm. Just updated to Sonoma 14.1 and things are working again.

[esaruoho]

i can confirm too, macOS Sonoma 14.1 and regular LICECap (v13.1) works as expected. interesting stuff.

[ronhks]

with Sonoma 14.2 it doesn't work, again :/

[whiskerside]

For Sonoma 14.2, I've tried to reinstall the app and enabled the accessibility that works now.

For Sonoma 14.2, I've tried to reinstall the app and enabled the accessibility that works now.

I think just re-enabling the accessibility would be ok.

[HaydenOrz]

I think just re-enabling the accessibility would be ok.

Open macOS System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & Audio Recording. Disable licecap and then re-enable.

I tried to do that and the problem was solved.

[frumbert]

14.4.1 (23E224), none of these suggestions working for me.

[ottocoster]

Sonoma 14.5 here. Works okay for the main laptop screen after enabling the permissions, not for my second monitor. There it's just a black screen with a moving mouse pointer.
