This looks like an issue with config and/or permissions to me, what do you think @sindresorhus?

Seeing exactly the same error after upgrading to 10.15 beta, please let me know if I can help debugging this somehow.

Note: I don't have experience with mac, but I'm happy to run debugging commands that might help to dig deeper into the issue.

[sindresorhus]

I don't have time to debug Kap v2 stuff. I will look into it further if you can reproduce with the v3 beta: https://github.com/wulkano/kap/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta.5

I tried the new beta. A popup stating something along the lines of "couldn't start recording within 5 seconds" showed up. Then the real issue came, since it seems like it crashed and locked the screen in the "recording" state and didn't allow to quit it anyhow. Clicking the bar icon did not show or do anything, the screen remained like this until I rebooted:

After the restart it doesn't crash anymore. When clicking it the new menu appears, it seems to start recording with the bar button changing. But after pressing the "Stop" the whole thing just disappears and no file is generated, there's no popup and the specified saving folder does not contain any new file.

@sindresorhus I get a dialog that says "The application Kap Beta can't be opened" using beta 5 on Catalina B2.

Same as above using Catalina B2 with Kap 3 beta 5, also seems like the dark screen overlay get stuck after the error pops up, had to force close the app to get rid of it.

[mrmos]

I was able to fix this by doing

System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording > Re-select Kap in list of Apps

[franciscop-sc]

In the latest Catalina it was fixed for me as well. I _believe_ I might have done what @mrmos is suggesting accidentally (+a couple of restart cycles), deselected all the "screen recordings" and selected them again, and now both Kap and Kap Beta works.
