Within this menu, ensure that Screen Recording permissions are enabled for Chrome:
Navigate to your Privacy & Security settings within your System Settings: If your Soapbox recording doesn’t start, you’ll want to make sure Chrome has permission to record your screen and access your webcam. If you’re using Soapbox on a Mac, you should know Apple has added some additional security features when it comes to applications recording your screen. This feature can help with thumbnail issues moving forward! Recording Does Not Begin In addition, we recommend checking out the steps on this page to enable Streaming Uploads. You can also customize your Soapbox with a manually selected thumbnail. To fix this, you can click on a video to re-initiate an upload, and re-initiate generating a thumbnail. If you finish editing your video, and notice that a default thumbnail is not generated, this can be from an error that occurred in the uploading process.
These applications will let you spot things using lots of RAM or CPU, and those will be the things that will impact your ability to use Soapbox seamlessly and ensure your recordings look and sound great. On Windows, the Task Manager program fills that need. On a Mac, you can use the application Activity Monitor. Depending on what operating system you’re on, this can be done in different ways.

Sometimes Chrome simply needs a restart to clear out the funkiness. Things aren’t loading for you in Soapbox? Start by fully restarting Chrome (quit the application if you’re on a Mac) and try again. If you are experiencing difficulties with longer recordings, we recommend breaking them up into smaller 10–15 minute-long videos to see if your experience differs. Longer Soapbox recordings will put a larger strain on your computer’s local hardware.
