Grant FrameCast permissions on your Mac
FrameCast asks only for what each feature needs: Camera, Microphone, Screen Recording, Speech Recognition, Input Monitoring, and Accessibility.
Where to find it
Studio → Settings → Permissions
How to do it
Open the studio and choose Settings in the sidebar, or click Permissions at the bottom of the sidebar.
Under Permissions, a green check means it’s on. An orange circle means it’s off.
Click a permission that is off. FrameCast asks macOS, or opens the matching pane in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
Turn FrameCast on in that pane.
For Screen Recording, Input Monitoring, and Accessibility, quit FrameCast from the menu bar and open it again.
