Purpose

This guide will help you grant the required access on your Mac to ensure the Kap application can record your screen.


Four-step Process

Step 1

When you first open Kap, you will first see a pop-up window requesting that you grant Kap access to record your screen. Click Open System Preferences.

Open system preferences to allow Kap access to screen recording.

Step 2

You will notice that the Kap checkbox is not selected and cannot record your screen. Click the lock icon to begin updating the list of allowed applications.

Security and Privacy - Click lock to make changes within this section.

Step 3

Use either your touch ID or Mac login password to add Kap to the Privacy list.

Input password or touch ID to unlock Security & Privacy preferences.

Step 4

Check the box next to Kap.

Click on app checkbox to grant Kap access to screen recording.

Step 5

You will then see a prompt informing you to close Kap now and re-launch to begin using it or opt to complete this later.

Warning panel - Kap will not be able to record contents of your screen until it is quit.

If you would like to record audio (e.g. you intend to narrate video) you will need to grant Kap access to your microphone.
