Grant screen recording permission
Recordings and screenshots need Screen Recording permission. Allow it in System Settings, then quit and reopen FrameCast so macOS applies it.
Where to find it
Studio → Settings → Permissions → Screen Recording
How to do it
Open the studio and choose Settings.
Under Permissions, click Screen Recording. macOS asks once, or System Settings opens at Privacy & Security.
In Screen & System Audio Recording, turn FrameCast on.
Quit FrameCast from the menu bar with Quit FrameCast, then open it again from Applications.
Back in the studio, Screen Recording shows a green check.
