I meant screencasts as in <http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/>. I posit that having a red icon in every audio+video screencast of Ubuntu Touch would be cringeworthy in exactly the same way as having a screencast utility icon in the panel or menu bar in most 2007~2012-era Ubuntu screencasts was cringeworthy. Because audio recording and screen recording often go together, it is important that both of them be invisible during the recording.
I suggest instead that access to the microphone be something that the system requires run-time confirmation of, in the same way that it requires confirmation of access to location or contacts. That wouldn't require any new APIs *or* any work in indicator-sound. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224756 Title: pulseaudio should give a visual indication when it is recording To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound/+bug/1224756/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
