Shortcut for Screen Recording on Mac

Recording your MacBook's screen can be a useful tool for creating tutorials, demonstrating software, or simply capturing important information. Luckily, Apple provides an easy-to-use built-in feature called the Screenshot toolbar that allows you to record your screen with just a few clicks and keyboard shortcuts.

To start recording your screen using the Screenshot toolbar, you'll need to trigger it first. To do this, press Command + Shift + 5 on your keyboard. A pop-up will appear on your video, where you can name your video and hit 'Save'. If you're satisfied with the outcome and want to save the recording, go to File > Save.

Alternatively, you can use QuickTime Player to record your screen. To do this, launch QuickTime Player and choose File > New Screen Recording from the menu bar. A popup will appear in the center of your screen. Click anywhere on the screen if you want to record your entire screen, or click and drag over the section you want to record.

When you're ready to start recording, click the record button. You can also customize your recording settings by clicking the down arrow next to the record button before starting the recording.

If you want to emphasize mouse clicks in your recording, check the box that says 'Show Mouse Clicks in Recording'. This will add a black circle around each mouse click during playback.

Once you've finished recording, you can save your video file and share it with others. With QuickTime Player's built-in screen recording feature, you can easily capture footage of your MacBook's screen and share it with others.

Additional Tips

* To record only a part of your screen, click and drag over the section you want to record before starting the recording.

* If you prefer to have your voice recorded during the recording, choose your preferred microphone from the Microphone Options menu.

* You can also use QuickTime Player's built-in video editing features to trim and edit your recordings.

By following these simple steps and keyboard shortcuts, you can easily record your MacBook's screen and share it with others.
