I'm gonna be showing you two ways to screen record on a Mac using the
built-in microphone and also an external microphone. So let's get started.
So first we're gonna use QuickTime Player. If it's not already in your dock
at the bottom here you can do a spotlight search and search for QuickTime Player.
QuickTime Player is usually pre-installed on almost all Macs
if it isn't installed on yours you can just download it from the Apple store.
Once open, at the top menu bar click on file new screen recording and next to
the red button here you'll see a drop-down arrow click on that to choose
your microphone and the option to show mouse clicks is just a circle around the
mouse pointer every time you're clicking on the screen. That's mostly for your
viewers to see where you're clicking.
Now if you want to use an external
microphone and you don't see it in the drop-down here you may have plugged it
in after you selected screen recording so just exit out of this and then do
another new screen recording now when you click on the little arrow you should
see the new external microphone in the drop-down list.
And if you're recording audio from the screen
just make sure your volume is on and you can start
recording you'll have an option to record the
whole entire screen or just a portion of the screen so I'm just gonna select the
portion here
when you're all done you'll just click on the stop button at the top menu bar
here and then save it to where you want.
And here I'm gonna ask you guys to
please give this video a like and hit the subscribe button with your
notification bell turned on.
Okay so this is what the built-in mic sounds like "....your SD card goes
so on the other side you'll have your Wi-Fi button and your up and down button..."
Okay now I'll turn off the sound from the video and do a voiceover using my external mic
and there you'll see the difference in the quality.
So now on to the second option
which is available from the Mojave operating system and onwards.
It has built-in screen recording. So by pressing Command Shift and 5
the screen recorder will pop up.
So hopefully you guys won't get too distracted with the fries in the
video here but if we take a look at the options you can either take a screen
capture or you can record your entire screen or part of the screen.
Click on the options drop-down and you can choose where to save it, whether you want a
timer and here is where your microphone will show, your built-in or your external,
an additional options are whether you want to show a floating thumbnail and
that's just a thumbnail at the end of the video once you click stop and
remember your last selection and also the mouse clicks
similar to what QuickTime has.
Okay once I plugged in my external microphone I just need to come
out of this and click on the options again and this time it will show.
Okay so this is what it sounds like with the built-in microphone
".....the marination and my last test
for you guys are some frozen fish pieces
switch it on to air-fry for 20 minutes...."
once you're done click on the stop button on the top menu bar
and here in the right bottom corner, you'll see the floating thumbnail
Click on it and open it up and then you have some options to
either edit it by cropping it and also to share it with somebody.
And if at any point you're having problems with your microphone or you
can't detect your external microphone click on system preferences click on
sound and just make sure that your input and output is set correctly and also you
want to make sure that your mute button hasn't been checked.
Right now I don't have my external mic plugged in but as soon as I plug it in
now it'll show up here.
And lastly, if you wanna check which operating system you're using just click
on the Apple in the top left corner about my Mac and here you'll be able to
see I have Mac OS Mojave.
Thank you so much for watching guys. Please be sure to check out my other videos
