If you use Google Chrome on your Mac computer, you may have received a notification saying, "Google Chrome is Capturing Your Screen." This alert happens randomly and without the user activating screen recording on their browser. To say this can be disconcerting would be a bit of an understatement. After all, from online banking to sending personal emails, we use our web browsers to transmit a lot of sensitive information that most of us would like to keep private. That's not to say there won't be times when you want to capture your screen. For example, if you're attending a class online, recording your screen on your MacBook can be useful, as it allows you to go back and review information at your own pace. Likewise, gamers often record their screens to share their gameplay with others.
