This technique can be helpful when needing to record a video of your screen for educational purposes when media is being played back on a browser.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To record your Mac’s Screen with both audio and video:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Install <\/span>loopback audio<\/span><\/a> (free extension).<\/span><\/li>
  2. Open the media you want to screen capture in your application (if it’s a browser, use Firefox or Chrome, not Safari). Start at least 5 seconds before where you want to start\u00a0 – this will usually give time for the application to hide any playback controls which might be distracting. Don\u2019t press play yet.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Go to System Preferences\/Sound. In the sound Output, choose Loopback Audio in the Output tab.
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>
    <\/span>At this point, you will hear no sound from any of your Mac’s applications, but don’t worry.<\/em><\/li>
  4. Go to the QuickTime Player application; choose File\/New Screen Recording.
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>
    <\/span><\/li>
  5. Choose if you want to record all your screen, or a portion of your screen (highlighted in red below), then click on the Record button.
    \"\"
    <\/span><\/li>
  6. Click on the Options menu.
    \"\"
    Choose the appropriate audio source, in this case Loopback Audio.
    \"\"
    <\/span><\/li>
  7. Go to the application that was set to play the video; press play (hopefully you queued up the video to play at least 5 seconds before the area you wanted to capture – this will usually give time for the application to hide any playback controls which might be distracting). <\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    After you’re done recording:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    1. Stop the video in your application that was playing your video.<\/li>
    2. A<\/span>t the top of your screen (to the right of Finder menu items), click on the black square, which is the button to stop the Quicktime recording.
      Save your video file.<\/span><\/li>
    3. Go to System Preferences\/Sound. In the sound Output, change the preference back to Internal Speakers (or whatever was your original choice). You should be able to hear sounds now from your speakers.<\/span><\/li>
    4. Go to your saved movie in QuickTime Player, and test out the sound. Trim the clip either in QuickTime Player<\/a> or iMovie.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
