Why is Quicktime no longer working properly? I recently upgraded to Big Sur, and Quicktime is no longer working properly. Specifically, screen capture is no longer showing any controls to start and stop recording.

QuickTime Player vs onscreen keyboard The problem is when you turn on the onscreen keyboard then Quicktime player's controls doesn't disappear. Its little bit frustrating. The one way to fix it is formating or new update of macOS, of course until you dont turn on the onscreen keybooard again :). Because of that I had to find another player :( Is there anyone who has a better idea how to fix it without formatting?

The controls should disappear when the mouse cursor is away from the controls and not moving.

It does work as intended for me on 11.4, by fading out in ~4 sec.

Do you have a mouse, or maybe a notebook with just a trackpad?

If you have a mouse, try changing the surface that it is on.
