Detect screen recording on Mac

Hello,


is it possible to detect if any app on my Mac is currently recording my screen? Is there maybe an app for that?


Thanks in advance!

Mac mini 2018 or later

Recording your screen??


Have you installed garbage on your Mac?

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN



macOS - Security - Apple https://www.apple.com/macos/security/

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?
