Mac Error 4302 — Screen Recording & Capture Permission Error

Overview

Mac error 4302 occurs when an application is denied screen recording permissions, preventing screenshots, screen capture, or screen sharing functionality.

Key Details

• Since macOS Catalina, screen recording requires explicit user permission
• Apps must be granted Screen Recording access in Privacy settings
• Error 4302 can also affect screen sharing applications like Zoom, Teams, and remote desktop
• The permission must be granted before the app captures the screen
• Some apps require a restart after granting screen recording permission

Common Causes

• Screen Recording permission not granted to the application
• Permission was revoked after a macOS update
• App not appearing in the Screen Recording permissions list
• TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) database corruption
• MDM or parental controls restricting screen recording

Steps

1. 1Grant permission: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording > toggle on the app
2. 2If app is not listed: open the app and trigger screen capture — macOS will prompt for permission
3. 3Restart the application after granting permission (required for some apps)
4. 4Reset TCC database: tccutil reset ScreenCapture (resets all screen recording permissions)
5. 5For Zoom/Teams: also check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility permissions
