Dropbox Capture no pause icon / can't pause screen recording

Hello,

 

Dropbox Capture for Windows 11, during screen recording, there is no option to pause the recording, there is no pause icon as stated by Dropbox.

 

Thanks

    Thanks for the feedback Sebleb!  Unfortunately the feature to pause and resume while recording is only currently available in Dropbox Capture for macOS, but we hope to make it available for Windows in the future as well.

     

    One option is to edit the recording at capture.dropbox.com after creating it, and trim out portions of the recording where you would have paused.  Certainly not as convenient, but may be useful in the meantime.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Sebleb.

     

    Can you send us a screenshot of the issue, so we can take a look?

     

    Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the Dropbox Capture app to see if that helps?

     

    Thanks in advance.

      Hello,

      Of course, here is a screenshot.

      I tried to uninstall and install again, but that didn't fix the problem.

      Thanks
