Unverified developer or security warnings during installation?
Since Recordly is driven by the open-source community, it does not currently purchase commercial code signing certificates. On Windows, Defender might warn you; click "More info" and select "Run anyway". On macOS, if blocked, go to "System Settings -> Privacy & Security" and click "Open Anyway" to authorize execution.
