I am a Mac user and I use the UpWork desktop app the log my time for hourly contracts. However, the work-in-progress screenshots don't seem to be working correctly. When it takes a screenshot, it only seems to capture my desktop wallpaper and the UpWork timetracker window, even though I have Google Chrome with multiple tabs pulled up at the time of the screenshot. Could you help with this?

You need to allow permission for the app to screen record! I had the same issue recently.

Hello! I'm experiencing the same issue—screenshot only capturing the time tracker, messenger, and my blank desktop. First, I tried minimizing the chat and putting the window I'm working on right beside the time tracker. It didn't work. Second, I tried to play with Capture All Monitors and Capture Active Monitors in the settings. No difference.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but for some reason, the app won't appear under Security & Privacy > Screenshots. I'm using macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7 if that helps.
I can't click on the "Get Help" button, and I don't know how else I can fix this. 😞 Can someone from the CS team help me or open a ticket for me?

Hi, Goran!
Thank you so much for your help! It finally worked, I think—Upwork is now listed as an app allowed to Screen Record. Before, it wasn't there. I just had to look for Keyboard Shortcuts and enabled "Take shot of full screen". I tested it and it captured my entire screen. That means it's already ok, right?
Thanks for your help!
