A screen recorder for Mac.
Record a window, an area or your full screen. Add your voice, system audio or a webcam. Keep the file on your Mac, or upload it when you need a link.
Choose what belongs in the recording.
Area
Draw a boundary around the part you want to explain.
Full screen
Capture the display when the walkthrough needs more than one window.
Choose the audio inputs before recording
Select the sound your viewer needs. Record a brief check and listen to the saved file before a longer take.
Use the microphone
Choose the intended microphone in the recorder. Apple’s Screenshot app lets you select a microphone from Options. Check the input level and make a short spoken test.
Use system audio
Enable the recorder’s system-audio option. In Screenshot, Apple documents Include System Audio for macOS 27 Golden Gate or later. Confirm any required screen and system-audio recording access before testing.
Use both, then prevent echo
Enable the microphone and system-audio inputs. Use headphones if speaker playback could reach the microphone. Say one sentence while the app makes a sound, then listen to the saved file.
