Due to macOS privacy policies, FocuSee requires screen, camera, and microphone permissions, as well as driver installation, to function properly. Please follow the instructions below to grant the necessary permissions.

Step 1. Download and Install FocuSee on Computer.

Visit our official website and download FocuSee on to your computer. Make sure you have a stable network connection during the download and installation process. Follow the on-screen prompts to install FocuSee.

Upon initial launch on Mac computers, the app will request permission to access the screen, camera, microphone, and drivers installation for recording capabilities. If you have unauthorized permissions for your microphone, camera, etc., you will get a popup to grant permissions when you click any of the icons or features.

For macOS 13 and later, you can record audio without installing an extra driver. However, if you're using macOS 13 earlier, you'll need to install the audio driver for smooth recording.

Let's take Camera permission granting as an example. Please click Enable button to continue the process.
