Mac

  • 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.
    CADefaultDeviceAggregate appears whenever a call app turns on echo
    cancellation, and it was being offered as something to record from, named
    after an implementation detail. Aggregates you made yourself are still
    listed.
