Hello,

I am the developer of the “PixelTaken” snap. It is a screen/camera recording application that requires access to the camera and microphone to function properly.

Could you please grant automatic connections for the following interfaces?

  • camera (to access the webcam)
  • audio-record (to record microphone input)

Thank you!

Hello @OleksandrBychek! Given that PixelTaken is a screenshot tool, could you please provide more information on the reasons why your snap requires access to the webcam and microphone?

Greetings @yomonokio ! We are expanding the capabilities of our application—screenshot capture was just the first step!

We have now implemented the ability to record the screen, a specific window, a selected area, system audio, as well as camera and microphone input, in case the user is recording tutorials or other content.

Our goal is to provide a simple and user-friendly interface, allowing users to record their screen without complex setup.

+1 from me for auto-connect of both audio-recordand camera interfaces to the Pixel Taken snap as these are needed for the new application capabilities.

Just a quick note—could you please add to the snap description that it uses the camera and microphone?

+1 from me given the discussion above.

+2 votes for, 0 votes against, approving auto-connect of interfaces: audio-record and camera to snap pixeltaken.

@OleksandrBychek - Once the description is updated with the details yomonokio mentioned above, please ping me and I’ll make the changes live. Thanks!
