Recording your screen??
Have you installed garbage on your Mac?

What issue are you having or what makes you think your screen is being captured? This would be GPU , not your display itself....
did you do a search?

You can check your user preferences if you enabled Screen Sharing in your user account for any reason,
you can disable it just as easy.

Hello Joseph,
thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately you misunderstood my question. I don't want to record my screen, I want the possibility to DETECT if any app is recording my screen.
Thanks in advance!
I found a solution that works for me:
If the screen is being captured, the process "screencapture" is running.
