FrameCast

Get started

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

  1. Open the studio and choose Settings in the sidebar, or click Permissions at the bottom of the sidebar.

  2. Under Permissions, a green check means it’s on. An orange circle means it’s off.

  3. Click a permission that is off. FrameCast asks macOS, or opens the matching pane in System Settings › Privacy & Security.

  4. Turn FrameCast on in that pane.

  5. For Screen Recording, Input Monitoring, and Accessibility, quit FrameCast from the menu bar and open it again.

Good to know

  • Camera is for the floating camera. Microphone is for recorded voice and live captions. Speech Recognition is for caption overlays. Input Monitoring and Accessibility are for the keys overlay, and Accessibility also lets clipboard history paste for you.
  • You only need the ones for the features you use.
