I found a product that was exactly the same as this project in Microsoft Store

Here Is The Link To Windows10 Store

Not sure it is uploaded by you, and it's not free, the APP's name and logo is different, but screenshot is exactly the same.

This was reported almost a month ago in #405. I'm not the one who is selling the app on Microsoft Store. And, even after reporting that app on Microsoft Store, tweeting to MicrosoftStore and trying to contact their support, I received no favourable response. Captura isn't the only open-source software being illegally sold on Microsoft Store. For instance, ScreenToGif comes to mind. See #405 for more info.


To everyone seeing this issue, please report the app on Microsoft Store.

This is an outrage, I'll report him, even if it's useless😠

Have you tried reaching their India support? MSsup

vishalsnayak avatar May 29 '19 13:05 vishalsnayak

Yeah, I tried that but could not get to a support person.

MathewSachin avatar May 29 '19 14:05 MathewSachin

Try this number... 877-696-7786

vishalsnayak avatar May 29 '19 14:05 vishalsnayak

Not sure if its US based number... but try anyway...

vishalsnayak avatar May 29 '19 14:05 vishalsnayak

I was told that support persons are available only from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. So, I'll try contacting on that number tomorrow morning.

MathewSachin avatar May 29 '19 14:05 MathewSachin

Great... Hope something works out...

vishalsnayak avatar May 29 '19 14:05 vishalsnayak

It's the same as the previous time, all their customer service representatives are busy. I am still unable to talk to a support person. It would be really helpful if anyone could report this for me.

MathewSachin avatar May 30 '19 06:05 MathewSachin

I think its US number and you need to affix +1 and call them....

vishalsnayak avatar May 30 '19 11:05 vishalsnayak

I can't call the US number. I haven't subscribed for ISD.

vishalsnayak avatar May 30 '19 11:05 vishalsnayak

Finally got some response from Microsoft store via their FB page. Screenshots of the conversation coming soon...

vishalsnayak avatar May 30 '19 20:05 vishalsnayak

Here are the screenshots of the chat conversation... MS store_01 MS store_02

vishalsnayak avatar May 31 '19 02:05 vishalsnayak

That's really great. Let me know when they respond further.

MathewSachin avatar May 31 '19 07:05 MathewSachin

Hey, I heard from them... Here is their reply... MS store_03

vishalsnayak avatar Jun 01 '19 14:06 vishalsnayak

I am posting the two links they have provided below... As advised use them to connect with their support team...

http://msft.social/u6C91g (U.S.) or http://msft.social/FoPC0N (outside of U.S.).

vishalsnayak avatar Jun 01 '19 14:06 vishalsnayak

I dont know how useful these links are... I have tried them earlier and I dont see any way to report the issue on those pages... Hope that the issue is resolved and we dont have to use those links...

vishalsnayak avatar Jun 01 '19 14:06 vishalsnayak

Please try reaching this number as well that I found on one of the support pages... 0008004402127

I seem to recall at least a dozen different Github posts requesting a Microsoft Store version. I think I'll reference this thread everytime the topic comes up from now on. After all, if piracy from one platform that they own (Github) sold on another platform they own (Microsoft Store) clearly isn't a priority, why invest time and energy?

It's very doable: Softpedia resolved the pirated entry almost immediately and they don't own either service.

Congrats... finally we managed to make this app a free download... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/screen-recorder-pro-display-window-region/9nkn36vnk55z?cid=msft_web_chart&fbclid=IwAR3korgkep76KHtwPfOl_pqG323haraTPpVoho7YT1bSo8w8DLp0RBddUjI&activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab

@vishalsnayak That's just bait. That person occasionally reduces the price or sells it for free to encourage more downloads.

MathewSachin avatar Jun 07 '19 13:06 MathewSachin

Even if Captura is licensed under MIT license, which allows selling if the license files are not removed, selling it will still be illegal if BASS is included without purchasing a license.
