Swiping Right on New Screen Recording Hi there, I just made a new screen recording, however after I stopped it I instantly swiped right (instead of clicking on it then hitting the "Done" button). As a result, my screen recording has been deleted and I can no longer recover it, despite apple saying that swiping right should instantly save it. For the record, i have enough memory to be able to store the file, so wondering why it has been deleted.

you can use the "shift-command-5" keyboard shortcut to bring up the controls. and in those controls, choose "options".

and in the options, check the "save to" location to see where the recording went.
