Enabling access to assistive devices (Mac users only)

If you work on Mac, there is one system option to change before Captivate can record the project. Use the following steps to make your Mac ready to record:

1. The first time you create a new software simulation with Captivate, a warning message appears to turn on Adobe Captivate in System Preferences to allow Captivate to control your computer
2. Click OK to dismiss the message, and then click Cancel
3. Open the System Preferences application
4. In the System Preferences dialog, click Security & Privacy
5. Go to the Privacy tab
6. If needed, click the lock icon at the bottom left corner of the System Preference application and authenticate as an administrator
7. Select the Captivate option to grant Captivate access to the assistive devices

Without this step, macOS does not broadcast the events that Captivate uses to capture user interactivity (clicking a button, typing into a text entry, and so on).
