When you start the application and record anything, and if you close the app by mistake, a message isn't displayed if you want to close the app or want to continue recording the screen. that's the feature that should be added and this is the bug I see After closing the app by mistake the yellow square continues to appear, and if you open the app again, nothing happened and yellow sqaure remain like the app recording while not, and if I close it from task manager, this yellow square continues Video for what I need to say https://streamable.com/fhzcrt

@ahmedWaelSalem The recording is done by Windows and not the app itself because of UWP so killing explorer.exe should stop the yellow square but a dialog should be shown by the app to avoid data loss.

so, you mean that yellow sqaure is just useless if I close the app, right? nice. I thought the app keep recording. Dialog for closing the app would be good.

Maybe Windows provides a way to continue recording in the background but the app doesn't detect wether the recording is going on or not.

I think that needs minimize to taskbar feature, but this will break ARM device support, and Xbox devices. (If this app really supports those devices). I think the best way to do this is to make something like compact mode but with Xbox game bar style. If you know what I mean. Screenshot 2020-11-13 160813

I can do something like that with overlay mode, but it's low priority currently:

  • Only Arm64 is supported and it has no issues with desktop bridge;
  • Xbox is not supported since the recording APIs are limited to Dektop and Surface Hub

Also Xbox game bar style compact mode is limited to Microsoft and partners.
