macOS
Permissions
Microphone and system-audio capture depend on macOS privacy settings.
Microphone
Grant microphone access when prompted. If denied earlier, enable hawkO under Privacy & Security → Microphone, then restart the app.
Screen & system audio
On recent macOS, both Screen & System Audio Recording and (on macOS 15+) System Audio Recording Only may be required for reliable loopback capture.
Accessibility & speech
Some features may prompt for accessibility or speech recognition; only grant what the in-app settings screen requests.
Troubleshooting silent system audio
- Confirm both macOS audio permissions above are on.
- Restart hawkO after changes.
- Toggle Include meeting / tab audio in Settings → Audio.
