Q: Currently Im unable to write @ (the at symbol) while im recording a video
Hey there, I’m not sure if this is a recent bug or something specific to my setup (both of my computers use a PT‑PT keyboard).
When I’m recording a video, my Alt key stops responding while ScreenToVideo is recording. This means I can’t record logins where I need to type an email address or other characters that require Alt+numbered key.
Can you help with this? Thanks.

The app only intercepts the hotkeys that are defined in the “Hotkeys” tab from either Screen Recorder Quick Setup or Video Recorder Quick Setup, depending on whether you're using Record & Edit or Quick Record.
In general, these are usually combinations like CTRL or CTRL + ALT (mainly for things like drawing tools).
Other keys shouldn’t be affected during recording, so it’s worth checking what hotkeys you currently have set up. There might be a conflict there, especially considering your keyboard layout.
