Although I've checked "Detect mouse clicks" option, it's not showing in the captured video.
I'm I doing something wrong?

What kind of content are you trying to record?
Some windows that were open with admin rights don't report mouse clicks.

In fact. I also did a test capturing a video and the clicks out of the window are captured and the clicks inside the window are not.
I never heard of this limitation.
However, you certainly know Camtasia and there is not this problem with this software.
Therefore it might have some solution for this.

Which app was that? I want to do some testing.

See https://imgur.com/Brb7yxp.
It seems that any app with admin privileges has the same problem.
(And although off topic I would like to know how to set up the loop limit (or not loop) for the generated gif?

Yes and if you run ScreenToGif as admin too, the clicks are detected.

Save As > Gif options expander > Looped gif, Repeat forever and Repeat count options.

Sim, exato. É melhor escrever em inglês para todo mundo conseguir ler. :)

Dear Nicke.

If I launch ScreenToGif 2.18 in admin mode and Microsoft Excel 365 too I still get There's no detected mouse clicks on your project message if I record something. I used your Mouse Clicks in Image tab.

Jan

I'm able to capture the mouse clicks fine. Have you tried to run both apps without admin rights?

Excel
