This error can occur as a false alarm, if Avast software is running. When the error appears, press Allow App, and the error disappears and oCam will continue working any problem.

 

If the pop-up window asking wheter to allow app does not appear

Click the + ALLOW APP button in Menu -> Settings -> Blocked and Allowed Apps and select oCam to add it.

If oCam is added to the list of allowed apps, you will be able to record without any problem.

 

or, you can turn off Ransomware Shield off instead as follows.

Either way should be fine.

Click on Tools-Options in the OCam Main Menu to learn about highlight effects in the Effect Category settings.

 


The highlight effect is used to give the viewer of the movie the current mouse cursor position.
A description of each option follows.

Color
-The color to apply when highlighting. It is set to yellow by default.

Size
-When highlighting, a semi-transparent circle is drawn around the mouse cursor. Specify the size of the circle. It is set to 90 by default.

Soft edge
-The larger this value is, the smoother the border of the circle will be.

Opacity
-The smaller this value, the more transparent the circle becomes.

The following image was recorded with a small opacity and a yellow color setting.


The following image was recorded with a large opacity and red color.


If the opacity value is too large, the highlight effect may cover the screen at the mouse position. Therefore, the opacity value should be set properly.
