As a troubleshooting step I tried manually granting Kap screen recording access (System Prefs -> Security -> Screen Recording -> Click ‘+’ and add Kap.app), but that did not help unfortunately

I’m running macOS 12.3 on an M1 Pro MacBook

Hi, tested on Macbook Pro 2021 (arm CPU, MacOS Mojave) with Kap 3.5.5 as suggested by @thethomasz:

if Rosetta (x86_64 emulator) is NOT installed, Kap raises the exception and doesn’t work at all
if Rosetta is installed, Kap works –> Kap is not working on the pure ARM, but it works with the Rosetta emulator “workaround”.

PS: To install Rosetta, run softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
