Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, the software is working fine!

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be super helpful if the software could be made to only capture a screenshot when the user clicks inside the recording zone. For example, I have 5 monitors on my PC, and I'd love to record just one of them when I click inside that one monitor. As it is now, it will take a screenshot if I perform any action in any monitor

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have been using the "remove duplicates" feature. However, there are times when the other monitor has a changing background so this feature is less helpful. For example, during an installation, the bar moves, right? or if a movie or animation is playing on the respective monitor or recording zone, I'd love for it to not take a screenshot when I am interacting with my PC in another zone

Love screentogif, couldn't make some tutorials without it!

Are you using the User interaction mode of capturing with the Screen as the capturing area? This sounds like the option you want

Hello! Yes, it works satisfactorily, however, what it does is still captures the images when I click outside of the intended display. It's really not a bit deal as most of the frames are easy to go through, but it can result in there being tons of extra images to go through because if I have screentogif recording from one screen, and I go into another screen and scroll down in the browser window, it will take a screenshot every time it senses the scroll wheel move, so I'll get thoursands of images whreas I only need 20 at very specific times. I hope that makes sense.
