- The other side of a call no longer needs Screen Recording. Transcripts reads
the system mix through a Core Audio tap now, and macOS grants that with an
ordinary Allow dialog — no administrator, no trip through System Settings.
That pane was the wall on managed laptops: Screen Recording has no inline
prompt, so approving it needs an admin password many people cannot supply. A
Mac that already granted Screen Recording keeps using it, so a setup that
works today is left alone. The permission remains optional either way —
decline it and recordings are microphone-only, which on a call means your
side of it. - Being muted no longer looks like a broken microphone. Muting in Teams, Slack
or Control Center silences every input on the machine at once, and that was
being read as a dead device: Transcripts would switch microphones under you
— in one case as far as an iPhone — chasing signal that no device on the Mac
was being given, and fragmenting the recording each time it tried. It now
recognises the difference and says so instead. Your own side resumes the
moment you unmute. - macOS's internal audio aggregates are out of the microphone list.

cancellation, and it was being offered as something to record from, named
after an implementation detail. Aggregates you made yourself are still
listed.
