the permission for screen access is only for apps that failed to start using the new API where the OS lets the user select a window/screen they want to share.

- lostmsu 2y agoCan I do it once and for all, or will I have to do it every time? I bet I know the answer. Did this conveniently break Rewind AI?
- threecheese 2y agoNot sure if it is broken, but I took the opportunity when upgrading today to say No and just disable it. The product is EOL anyway, there are a few upstarts in the open source world, and I am hoping the best for Apples on-device SLMs (or oss ones) mooting the requirement for OpenAI.
- lostmsu 2y agoWhat do you mean EOL? I see nothing of the sort on their website.
- gcr 2y agoagain, i keep asking: which apps have actually switched to the new screen sharing API and which apps have not? does zoom, chrome, google meet, etc still require this?
- gareim 2y agoYou sound entitled, phrasing it that way. No one owes you an answer here. Discord updated to the new API already, as one example.
- nozzlegear 2y agoOf all the apps I use that record my screen, literally all of them have updated to this new API ages ago. That includes Discord, Slack, Teams, Zoom, FaceTime, OBS, and Safari. I want to say that Firefox has as well but can't remember for certain.
