Screen recording from Dropbox Capture with no audio
Hi folks, i was just wondering, why my dropbox capture isn't recording audio from screen recording? is this common issue or ?

Hi everyone, Dropbox Capture isn't intended to record audio from the screen or machine itself.
It only allows input from a microphone or an external input device.

i’m glad that I finally found the answer to this question because I’ve been looking for hours yesterday and today and I’ve assumed that the option for recording system audio and microphone audio was not an option. This was one of the main reasons I jumped into going with a professional plan with Dropbox, because of the feature to be able to record the screen, assuming that I would also be able to hear the audio of a video that I might be playing while using the screen record option while this is a cool feature to have since I do intend to make instructional video it’s really kind of a bummer to not be able to hear the system audio with all of the different options that are out there for something like this that allow for system audio recording you would think dropbox would enable that as a feature. I hope someone sees this it makes me wonder how many others have jumped into a paid plan with Dropbox thinking that this would be an option you guys need to seriously consider , adding that as a feature .
