Option to only use screen recording permission when Alt+Tabbing #5337

Is your feature suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.
First of all, I totally understand why the app does things they way it does, using this permission in the background frequently allows the thumbnails to be displayed instantly when the user does an Alt+Tab. However I think some of us would prefer it if this happened "on-demand", since the purple icon appears throughout the day, we become unsensitized to it and assume it's from Alt+Tab, so from a security standpoint, it might be better to only see this icon when we expect it, to prevent another app from using this permission without realizing it.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose an option that makes Alt-Tab only use the screen recording permission when the user presses Alt+Tab, since this obviously has a big drawback, there should be a note making the user aware that this will cause a delay.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I didn't come up with an alternative, if there is one, I think it's probably more complex to implement than this, keeping solutions as simple as possible is better to make maintaining this app easier, I believe adding an option is the easiest way to do it.
