Somewhere in the form, is supposedly a plugin to sorta fix this issue.
..However, I couldn't seem to get the plugin to download (I'm kinda a nub, when it comes to downloading coding stuff, if it doesn't have an "download this pkg" thing..), so, I found a good work-around:
Go to "settings" > "general" > "toolbar" (you'll need scroll down a bit) > "Enable".
Then, on the toolbar thing, manually drag the icon onto the "always shown" part thing, & tada! You can now see the "red dot" to show it's recording (on) or not (no dot shown). ^_^
As far as the 'other' notification type things.. Atm, I'm not as versatile in that department (ie: the coding bits), so.. *hugs*
There may be a way to manually code Windows to do that (or, ya can probably have better luck at getting the plugin thing someone wrote on Github.)
PS:
I love Windows' built-in gamepad thing (especially the ability to record WITHOUT having to have the program open), but, like you, it has issues crashing / not being able to record desktop etc.
(Considering I'll be using it for online schooling of "Software Development", I kinda 'need' that function.. lol)
