Screen capture / Vision not working

[Ameciell]

Hi, I'm new here so sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

I'm on Windows 11 with AIRI v0.11.3, and I wanted to try the Vision module. When I open the screen capture page, pick a source and click Share, it fails immediately with:

i tried changing to displays or application but none of that working, refetching too. restarted the app and laptop but it still doesnt working

The docs mention granting a system-level screen capture permission, but I can't find any such setting in Windows. Is that a macOS only thing?
asked claude code to help me with this, and checked the permission but it is indeed not allowed on the video, only the audio

Not sure if it's related, but they mentioned the app's permission check might only be allowing audio requests, and screen capture always includes video.

Is this a known issue on Windows, or is there a setting I'm supposed to turn on somewhere?

Also i want to ask if is the sign in page error? because its just give me a black page.

Thanks in advance!

On Windows this does not look like a missing system screen-recording setting. The macOS screen-capture permission prompt is macOS-specific; Windows should normally rely on the app/Electron permission flow.

Your second screenshot is probably the useful clue. Looking at the current AIRI source, the Electron permission handler explicitly allows local display-capture, but it only allows media permissions when they are audio-only. The tests also intentionally reject mediaTypes: ["video"] and mediaTypes: ["audio", "video"].

The vision screen-capture code then starts the stream with:

navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({ video: true, audio: false })

So if Electron/Chromium reports the Windows picker as a media request containing video instead of the allowlisted display-capture path, AIRI will deny its own request. That matches what you saw: audio is allowed, video is not.

I would treat this as an AIRI permission-policy bug, not as a Windows setting you missed. The useful report would be:

• AIRI v0.11.3
• Windows 11
• the exact error text from the Share failure
• your screenshot showing video denied / audio allowed
• note that use-vision-screen-capture.ts calls getDisplayMedia({ video: true, audio: false }), while media-permissions.ts denies media permissions with video

A likely fix is for AIRI to explicitly allow the local app screen-capture path on Windows/Electron, or to adjust the permission handler so this vision capture request is not rejected as camera/video media. Trying random Windows privacy settings probably will not help unless AIRI changes that app-level permission decision.

If this points to the right cause, please mark it as answered so Windows vision users can find the permission-policy explanation.
