How to Screen Record on a Mac with Audio [6 Easy Ways]

The first step to using Movavi Screen Recorder to record your screen and audio at the same time on a Mac is to download the program from the official Movavi site. Once the file is downloaded, you can open it up and install it, following the on-screen instructions to guide you through the process.

Once Movavi Screen Recorder is installed on your Mac and you're ready to record, simply open it up. You should see a little widget appear on the screen. This is the Screen Recorder. It has simple Record and Screenshot buttons, as well as some options you can adjust. The program will be able to record anything on your screen, so it's wise to get whatever you want to record ready to go in a separate window.

Before you start recording, it's important to get everything set up correctly to get the best results for your recording. First, press the Screen recording button, shaped like a movie camera, to access the settings. You'll first need to either click on the window you want to record or click and drag a box to cover the space you want to record, which can be either the entire screen or just part of the screen. Next, it's time to set up the audio. You should see Microphone and System Audio buttons on the menu. You can click on each one to turn them on or off for the recording. There are also other buttons that let you adjust whether or not mouseclicks and keystrokes are shown on your screen recording.

Once you've got all the settings sorted out with Movavi Screen Recorder, you can click on the REC button to start recording your screen with audio. The program will give you a small countdown timer before it starts to let you know when the recording has begun, and you can then proceed to use your Mac as normal, with the screen recorder running in the background and capturing everything that appears. This will continue until you're ready to stop. You can stop with the Stop button, and then you can make some simple edits to your recording, if needed, and save it to your Mac.

Great! Now you know how to record screen on a Mac with audio using Movavi Screen Recorder.

One of the benefits of using QuickTime to record the screen of your Mac with audio is that the software itself is built right into your device by default. So you won't need to download QuickTime, but you do need to download and set up the Soundflower extension in order to be able to record audio with your screen. Make sure to download it from a reputable site. It should come in the form of a zip file that can be extracted and run on your system. You may need to grant permission for the installation by going to the System Preferences menu, then clicking on Security and Privacy, and clicking the Allow button for the software. You may also need to restart your Mac to finish the installation process.

Soundflower is an extension that reroutes your system audio, but you need to set it up correctly in order to get the right results when using QuickTime to capture your screen. To do this, head back to the System Preferences section of your Mac and then enter the Sound settings menu. Click on Output. This should show a list of available output devices for your Mac's audio. Soundflower should appear as an entry in the list. There should be two Soundflower items: Soundflower (2ch) and Soundflower (64ch). Beginner users should select the Soundflower (2ch) option, and this is the simplest.

After setting up Soundflower, you're ready to load up QuickTime and get ready to start recording. But first, you need to make sure that the QuickTime settings are correctly configured to get the results you want. To do this, open QuickTime and click on File. Then click on New Screen Recording. A window should appear with a Record button, ready to let you capture your screen. Before clicking Record, click on the Options button to the right side of the window. Ensure that your Microphone is set as Soundflower (2ch). This is what will allow QuickTime to record system audio rather than audio from your mic. You can also use the Options menu to adjust the quality of your recording and choose whether to show or hide mouse clicks.

After setting up all of the settings and the Soundflower extension, you can go ahead and click on the Record button to start capturing your screen. At this point, a box might appear asking you for permission to start recording, so you might need to click to allow this and then click the Record button again if the process hasn't started automatically. QuickTime will also offer you the choice between full-screen recording or partial screen recording. If you choose full screen, there's no need to do anything else. If you choose a partial screen, you'll need to click and drag a box around the area of the screen you want to capture. Once you do this, the recording process will start.

Once you're done recording your Mac screen with QuickTime, you can press the Stop button. The app will then stop the recording and save your file to your device, where you can view, edit, and share it as desired.
