Screen capture running in the background

[Ben J.]

I had an episode the other day - my internal drive filled up and threw an error. I managed to fix it and retrieve the lost free space. I've come to realise that it was probably due to my initiating a live screen recording, and not noticing it was running in the background before the drive filled up.

My simple question: how can I avoid repeating this?
Any optional visual feedback I can select?

How did you or what software did you use to "initiate" a live screen recording. There should have been some indicator in the menu bar recording was active.

Just the standard screen-grab in macOS (F5). Well, that idicator in the menu bar illluded me.
