If you're looking for more ways to take screenshots on your Mac, we have your back. A few seconds later, your video will show up, allowing you to use QuickTime to save, export or edit the clip before sharing.ĭid you know you can also record the screen of your iPhone or iPad? It's true, and it's just as easy as on the Mac. Click on that when you're done recording. Recording Controls consists of options such as record, pause, stop, sound output, snapshot, and the selection window that highlights the area marked for recording such as full screen, a selected area on the screen, etc. A small stop sign-like icon will show up in your menu bar on the top-right side of your display. When you're ready to record, click the Record button. Again, this is perfect for a presentation or even as a teaching tool. Under the Options section, you'll find a setting that will cause an animated ring of circles, much like water rippling, to surround your cursor every time you click on something while you're recording your screen. If that's the case, this is where you'll tell the QuickTime Player what you want to use as a microphone. For example, if you're giving a presentation, it makes sense to use an external microphone or a pair of AirPods.
The Microphone option is what you'll want to adjust if you plan on capturing audio while you record your Mac's display.
