DropBox Capture, Mac, In-built Camera

DropBox Capture, Mac, In-built Camera

StephenIbbs
Explorer | Level 4

Hi - please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.

 

I am trying to use Dropbox Capture to record both the screen and the in-built Camera using <Shift><Option> C.

 

I only get the screen recorded. 

 

If I select Camera (only) it records from the Mac camera so I know it is accessing the camera successfully.

 

How can I record the screen and have the camera capture me talking at the same time?

Hi @StephenIbbs, thanks for using Dropbox and happy Monday!
 

Keep in mind that Capture isn't intended to record audio from the screen or machine itself. It only allows input from a microphone or an external input device.

 

However, you mentioned that you're having some problems recording both your screen, and camera at the same time, right? Could you please let us know your device's OS and if this persists after rebooting your computer?

 

Keep me posted!

Hi - thanks for your reply. Turning off the computer, waiting 10 secs and turning it back on solved the problem. :-)))

Thanks so much.  For the record it is a Macbook Air, Apple M1 chip, OS Ventura 13.3.1
