Screen Recording Limited to About 30 Minutes

I am wondering why my use of screen recording is being limited to about 30 minutes when using screenshot. For example, if I am involved in an hour long webinar I am unable to get the whole event recorded. 😠

what location are you using as your "save to" location? I know that, in my case, I have had issues with my longer screen recordings stopping unexpectedly and or not saving whenever I have the "save to" location set to anything other than "desktop". this is especially true when "save to" is set to an external drive.


I now use "desktop" as my 'save to" for all recordings, and afterwards move them to my desired location. I haven't had an issue since.
