Does Storage Studio record my camera or microphone?
Short answer: No. It never captures audio or video. It only notices whether another app is using the camera or microphone, so automatic tasks can wait while you're in a meeting — and you can turn that signal off.
No. Storage Studio never captures video or audio. It only notices whether your camera or microphone is in use by another app — a simple yes or no — so it can hold off on automatic tasks while you're in a meeting.
That signal is part of Smart Quiet Hours, and you can switch it off on its own in Settings → Quiet Hours if you'd rather the app ignored it. Nothing about it leaves your Mac.
See Settings for the other Quiet Hours options.
