Recording Indicator Utility supports macOS 12.2 and lets you turn off the recording indicator light system-wide. You can also hide the recording indicator by choosing a list of apps or automatically hide it in full-screen.

To help audiovisual artists project visuals without distraction, Sydney San Martin built undot, and Alin Panaitiu built YellowDot. Both apps can hide the microphone recording indicator in full screen on macOS Monterey 12.1 and earlier. https://cdm.link/2021/12/apple-a... On macOS Monterey 12.2, the recording indicator moved into a lower-level system component called WindowServer, breaking undot and YellowDot in the process. Hiding the microphone recording indicator light requires a new approach. So I made Recording Indicator Utility which supports macOS 12.2 and lets you turn off the recording indicator light system-wide. You can also hide the recording indicator by choosing a list of apps or automatically hide it in full-screen.

@tyshawn_cormier Thanks for reaching out! I'm in an environment that doesn't allow me to disable SIP, but I'll be sure to forward your tool along to those who can use it
