Evaer Privacy & Security: What You Need to Know Before Recording

Troubleshooting Evaer: Common Issues and Quick Fixes

1) No video recorded / “Cannot get normal video data”

• Cause: App injection method fails after Skype/Teams update or incompatible capture mode.
• Quick fixes:
  1. Update Evaer to latest version; if problem started after Skype/Teams update, try downgrading the app to the last-known-working version (vendor support article may list specific builds).
  2. In Evaer Advanced settings, enable Use DirectX technology to capture video (or switch capture mode).
  3. Restart Skype/Teams and Evaer after changes.
  4. If still failing, check vendor KB for a patched release or temporary workaround.

2) Audio recorded but no video (or vice versa)

• Cause: Wrong recording mode or device routing conflict.
• Quick fixes:
  1. Confirm recording mode (Side-by-side, Separate files, Local webcam only, Remote webcam only) matches your intent.
  2. Check Windows sound device settings and Evaer audio device selection; set microphone/speakers to the same sample rate (44.⁄₄₈ kHz) in Windows Sound Control Panel.
  3. Close other apps using the webcam or audio device (Zoom, OBS, browser tabs).
  4. Reboot the system and retest.

3) Audio–video out of sync

• Cause: High CPU load, network latency, or differing sample rates.
• Quick fixes:
  1. Reduce recording quality/resolution in Evaer settings.
  2. Close background CPU/network-heavy apps; switch to wired network if possible.
  3. Ensure Windows and Evaer use the same audio sample rate (set in Sound control panel).
  4. If persistent, record audio+video separately and align in an editor (short-term workaround).

4) Partial/short playback (file size tiny, duration wrong)

• Cause: Interrupted write to disk or crash during recording.
• Quick fixes:
  1. Ensure sufficient free disk space and write permissions for the output folder.
  2. Run Evaer as Administrator and disable antivirus or memory-protection tools that may block injection (e.g., Cylance).
  3. Update graphics drivers; switch video renderer mode in Evaer if available.
  4. If file corrupt, check Evaer temp folder for leftover fragments and vendor KB for recovery steps.

5) Remote video upside down or mirrored

• Cause: Camera orientation or capture transform mismatch.
• Quick fixes:
  1. In Evaer Advanced or Options, enable the “Correct upside down images” or rotate/mirror setting.
  2. Update webcam drivers and test with another recorder to isolate issue.

6) Microphone not recorded / “Could not record the microphone sound”

• Cause: Permission, device selection, or exclusive access conflict.
• Quick fixes:
  1. In Windows Settings → Privacy → Microphone, allow apps access and ensure Evaer is permitted.
  2. Select correct microphone inside Evaer options.
  3. Disable “Allow applications to take exclusive control” in the microphone’s Advanced properties.
  4. Test microphone in Windows Sound Recorder.

7) Installer / activation / license problems

• Cause: Corrupt install, missing prerequisites, or activation server issues.
• Quick fixes:
  1. Re-download installer from Evaer official site and run as Administrator.
  2. Temporarily disable firewall/AV that may block activation.
  3. If activation fails, use the vendor’s license recovery/activation support.

8) Teams-specific capture problems (Evaer for Teams)

• Cause: Teams updates change video data path; injection method breaks.
• Quick fixes:
  1. See Evaer KB for recommended Teams versions or a rollback link.
  2. Enable “Temporarily disable Teams auto updates” if offered and install the supported Teams build listed by Evaer.
  3. Use the DirectX capture option if available.

General checklist before contacting support

• Update Evaer, Skype/Teams, graphics and webcam drivers, and Windows.
• Confirm sufficient disk space and correct output folder permissions.
• Close other apps using camera/audio.
• Run Evaer as Administrator.
• Collect logs/screenshots and note exact app versions before contacting vendor support.
