What will Tango’s Desktop app capture?
The Desktop App is another way to capture high-resolution images of your process for both Mac (ARM & X64) and Windows 10/11. It will auto-generate high-resolution images, highlighting the steps within a Workflow.
It will generate a fully editable Workflow that will show up alongside your other Workflows in your Web App.
When working between your browser and your desktop, the Desktop App will capture both (including Chrome settings!).
Desktop is a Pro only feature. You can upgrade today to make sure you have access to Desktop ASAP!
What permissions will I need to enable to install Tango's Desktop App?
Answer for Mac: When installing the Tango app, we will ask you to enable a few different permissions on your device, which will allow us to create a clear step-by-step guide for you to share. Below are the permissions we ask you to enable on a Mac, and how we use them:
Accessibility Permissions: These allow us to track your mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts (also known as chords). Tango does not track all keyboard actions, but only recognizes when you are inputting a shortcut on an app to complete an action. So, for example, we will capture “cmd+v”, but if you’re filling out a form, we won’t track you writing down your name or any other similar data.
Screen Recording Permissions: We need screen recording permissions to take a screenshot to capture each action you take and put it into a Workflow. This is what allows us to create clear step-by-step guides with highlights of each action.
Answer for Windows: If you're using Tango's Desktop app, it is currently signed.
Is Tango Desktop recording even when it’s off?
As long as you have not clicked “Capture Workflow” in the pop-up window in your screen, the Tango Desktop app is not screen recording or tracking your actions on your device. For additional peace of mind, when you are not recording a workflow, you can quit the Tango Desktop app when not recording a workflow.
