Hey domstefis, welcome to our Community! 

 

As a first step, would you mind clarifying the OS you're using on your MacBook Air? 

 

Also, do you notice this behavior with every single recording? Have you tried uninstalling Capture, and then re-installing it at all since you first noticed it? 

 

Let me know more!

    Hi Megan,

     

    thanks for getting back to me. Here is my config:

     

    And yes, unfortunately I experience that issue every time I start the app and every time I record a video.

     

    I have also uninstalled + then reinstalled Dropbox Capture as per your advice, but the problem is still there is makes the app actually unusable. Very sad, as I was hoping to have an alternative for Loom.

     

    Thanks for your help,

    Dominik
