Audio input/output loss and webcam display issues after updating Recordly on Windows 11.
Technical Positioning
Maintaining core recording and editing functionality across updates and operating systems, ensuring a stable and reliable user experience for professional video creation.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This issue reports a severe functional regression post-update to Recordly v1.1.6 on Windows 11: complete loss of audio input/output and webcam visibility in the editor. These are fundamental components of a "professional screen recorder." Such regressions directly undermine the product's utility and reliability. Market implication: updates that break core functionality are catastrophic for user retention and trust. Users expect updates to improve, not degrade, their experience. This bug creates significant friction for professional users, forcing rollbacks or abandonment, and severely damages the product's reputation in a competitive market for video creation tools.

No sound after updating to version 1.1.6 windows 11
After an upgrade to version 1.1.6 i lost input and output sound. i am using window 11. Also, webcam was present during recording but disappear immediately i wanted to edit
Developer Debate & Comments
Still present in v1.1.7? Also, is auto-updating working for you?
version v1.1.8 auto update is working but still the audio and webcam are not working. I redownloaded v1.1.5 the audio and webcam are working fine.
@matomitw @webadderall I have described the Recordly errors on [Windows in more detail here for v1.1.9](https://github.com/webadderall/Recordly/issues/140)
Yes, audio not recording still 😢 Tried now version 1.1.9
Also, **there's a selection that I didn't include showing up** :(

Recordly's cursor following feature on Linux.
Delivering reliable, professional-grade screen recording functionality across supported operating systems, specifically Linux, for 'professional product videos, demos, and tutorials'.

Same here, i am using Fedora.
same issue, they said "Linux currently use Electron's capture path, which means the OS cursor cannot always be hidden during recording." so i think is the reason why but idk lmk if this can be fixed
[fix(linux): restore cursor follow with linux bounds + hook mouse cache](https://github.com/webadderall/Recordly/commit/a648c3fecaab290be8b96d412053b9a23f1937e5) Let me know if this changes anything
