As the title of thumbnail suggests,
we're going to talk about screen sharing
and recording your iPhone or iPad screen
on a Mac natively.
Not using any third party recording software.
Here we go. Things you're going to need:
your Mac.
You’re gonna need your iPhone or iPad and you're going
to need your lightning or USB 3 cable depending on your device.
First thing you're going to want to do is connect the phone
to the lightning cable.
You get that little chime, saying it’s connected, great!
The next thing you're going to want to do is jump
over to your Mac, go and find Quick Time,
and fire up Quick Time.
You're going to get a little menu,
but you don't need that, so click cancel.
Thing up to file — New Movie. You might think,
isn't it a screen recording? No,
the new screen recording is strictly for screen
recording your Mac.
What you're doing is doing a movie recording.
So we're going to click on that. And in my case,
it's instantly open to the iPad or the iPhone. Now,
if yours doesn't do that,
what you need to do is go down here,
click the little arrow next to the record button.
The top section here is your cameras.
Mine was opened last to my iPhone.
It could have defaulted to your Face Time on your
MacBook or something like that,
or maybe a webcam that you're automatically have hooked up.
It might default to that.
So you have to do is look for your iPhone
in this list and select it. Mine’s selected already.
The other thing you want to do is if you're
going to record a tutorial,
or you need to record your voice,
you want to pick the correct microphone
for the input on your Mac. Last setting,
it's the quality setting you can have it set
for high or maximum. When recording the iPhone,
it doesn't matter too much.
This might be more helpful if you're recording a webcam
to record the right quality. If that's the case,
if you're doing a webcam instead of the phone,
you want maximum for the phone, high or maximum,
going to give you the same results. OK,
once you've got this going,
you can see I got a bit of audio level from the mic
plugged into my Mac.
If I'm ready to go as you can see,
I got my phone plugged in. You can click Record.
And you can see here,
the timer is counting up and the amount of disk space
the file is using to record is being recorded
and there as well.
So you can keep that on as a monitor.
If you move your mouse across, the top is going to hover.
If I wait a second that might disappear,
which it does. Or if I go off the window,
it's going to disappear as well. So if you hover or move,
your little display will move.
You can also move it up and down.
But you can see it’s recording,
so I can go about my business recording whatever
tutorial I might be doing,
say I'm going in and doing an app walk through
or review on Spotify Greenroom as an example.
I might open that up and do my tutorial,
show people how to use it.
Talk about its features depending what sort
of video I'm making.
So if you just want to show someone how to do something,
then you can record your screen as you speak and talk
through what you're doing. Then once you're done,
you want to come down here and click the stop button,
clicking the stop button. Now it has stopped.
Now you’ve got a little play button so you can
check the playback.
You can see I recorded for a minute, 31 seconds.
You can see the scroll through quickly.
You can see it has all the movements that I did on my
phone whilst it was recording. Now, this is’nt saved,
so you've got to save. So you go up to File — Save.
And then it's going to prompt you to save
it to a certain location, Movies is good for me,
but whether you'd like to save it on your
Mac and give it a name, that you’re going to remember,
be able to find it.
“iPhone screen” and then click Save.
Takes a moment to save and then it's saved.
So what we can do is close that now we can open up,
Finder and go to the folder where we know we saved it.
You can see this is the file here.
I'm going to right click,
Get Info and you can see there it tells us all about
the file that we just saved. The dimensions. In my case,
an 11 Pro Max is 1242 by 2688 I recorded for one minute
and 31 seconds and it's recorded in H.264 You don't get
to choose the recording encoding Quick Time’s
going to do that by default. H264 —
that's what Apple loves to use. But once you've got that,
you can import that into your editing software of choice
and edit it or whatever it is that you wanted
to record it for,
you can go ahead and take that file and do
you thing with it.
So that's everything provided natively in the Mac.
We didn't instal something like Camtasia or OBS or some
other third party software and have the rinky
dink something in. Because it's a Mac.
It picks up the iPhone input or iPad input natively.
If you are on a PC, that would be the case.
That's why this tutorial is specifically using a Mac.
Now, if you want me to cover a third party software
on Mac for doing the same thing, I'm not sure why you would,
because Apple give you all the tools you need
to not have to install much third party information.
But if that's what you need, let me know the comments below.
That might be something we can look at for future video. Well,
this is Doug, and I'll catch you later.
