It's a big hassle when you first upgrade or if you find yourself having to reinstall MacOS and are installing a lot of programs at once. In normal use day to day with the occasional security prompt when installing an application, it's less egregious.
But it is not granted to an app but to chrome. I guess it is a bit dangerous.
For the Yi issue, it problem as it is new. But I guess after awhile it should be ok. You really want to know these permission s and explicitly approve it.
If a website attempts to record screen, Chrome will pop up a modal dialog asking user to select if they want to record entire desktop, application window or tab. The user has to opt in every time before any screen recording takes place.
Outklip is a Chrome extension with a few additions compared to QuickTime:
* It lets you record camera along with screen, so you can be seen in the video. Gives videos a personal touch.
* Videos on Outklip are automatically uploaded to cloud storage, which lets you share them via a link instantly after recording. Saves you the step of uploading the video to gdrive, dropbox, etc. before sharing. The video creator can see who viewed and when.
* An easy to use video editor, which lets you add text labels, remove parts of video, crop region of video, convert to gif, etc.
* A YouTube integration that lets you post videos quickly and easily.
One thing Outklip lacks is the ability to record a selected portion of the screen, which Quicktime supports.
On this note does anybody happen to know an alternative to https://recordit.co?
It used to be a minimalistic screen recorder, where you'd select a selected area of the screen and it would automatically upload it to a url, both as a video or animated gif.
