2. Select the options, and finally choose the microphone you want to use to capture the audio.


  • Pick between recording the full screen or recording a specific part.
  • Press the record button.

Your Mac’s screen will start recording sounds from the microphone you’ve chosen. You may also connect an outside microphone, like an iPhone or a USB mic, to capture your Mac’s display along with its audio. When sharing your screen with others, take care not to give out any personal information. 

How to Edit and Store Screen Recordings 

QuickTime Player does not have the powerful editing features that third-party programs do, but it does allow you to save and trim your recordings. Here’s how to modify and save QuickTime screen recordings. 

1. Slide into the screen capture for editing.

2. Select Trim after selecting editing in the menu section.


  • The video can be trimmed both ways by clicking and dragging.
  • To confirm the changes, click Trim.  

The modified footage can be saved wherever you want. A common issue when recording with a Mac is a lack of storage space; By modifying your screen recordings, you can free up space to keep what is important.

Best Screen Recorders for Mac

Below are some of the best screen recorders for Mac that you can use to record screen on Mac:
