Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, the software is working fine!

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be super helpful if the software could be made to only capture a screenshot when the user clicks inside the recording zone. For example, I have 5 monitors on my PC, and I'd love to record just one of them when I click inside that one monitor. As it is now, it will take a screenshot if I perform any action in any monitor

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have been using the "remove duplicates" feature. However, there are times when the other monitor has a changing background so this feature is less helpful. For example, during an installation, the bar moves, right? or if a movie or animation is playing on the respective monitor or recording zone, I'd love for it to not take a screenshot when I am interacting with my PC in another zone

Love screentogif, couldn't make some tutorials without it!
