Please choose an appropriate sub-category to post your question or topic. I can’t start recording on my Active presenter after downloading and successfully install the software
Hi,
Some users reported that the problem came from antivirus software like Avast.
It wrongly blocked ActivePresenter from accessing some locations on their computer.
Do you use Avast Antivirus? If so, ActivePresenter may be wrongly blocked by this program.
Please add ActivePresenter to the allowed list of antivirus software to see if it works.
Best regards,
Thuy
Hi,

Hi,

For Window:
Please try running ActivePresenter as administrator to see if it works.
(Right-click the ActivePresenter icon on the desktop > select “Run as administrator”)
For macOS:
Please take a look at this guide to control access to screen recording on Mac to see if it helps:
