FixStudio for Mac

Allow Studio to use your camera, microphone and screen

macOS asks before Studio can use a camera, microphone, your screen or the local network. If you said no, or nothing appears, here is where to turn it back on.

How to fix it

  1. Step 1: Let Studio ask

    Studio asks for each permission the first time a source needs it: Camera, Microphone, Screen Recording, and Local Network for phones and NDI sources. Click Allow.

  2. Step 2: Turned it down? Open Privacy & Security

    Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, choose Camera, Microphone, Screen Recording or Local Network, and turn on Stream24 Studio.

  3. Step 3: Screen or window list still empty

    In Privacy & Security → Screen Recording, turn Stream24 Studio off and on again, then quit Studio and open it again.

  4. Step 4: Files and drives

    macOS asks the first time Studio opens Desktop, Documents, Downloads or a connected drive. If no prompt appeared, bring Studio to the front, or allow it under Privacy & Security.

Good to know

  • The Audio panel shows Permission needed — Microphone when the microphone is blocked.
Messages you might see
  • Permission needed — Microphone. Open System Settings.
  • Stream24 Studio cannot list windows yet.
