How to Record MacBook Screen with Internal Audio
This is 2022, the peak era of advancement and information technology. Today when we go to Youtube, TikTok, Facebook, or any other social media or streaming site, we find thousands of gaming vlogs, reaction videos, tutorials, and whatnot. And all of this is accomplished by software applications that allow screen recording with microphone activation, so you can also record your voice with the video contents.
Being able to do this much is easy, and you can find Mac’s own screenshot utility or the QuickTime player. But when it comes to recording internal audio, which can be just as important as screen recording or webcam recording, to make a comprehensive video where you can show your screen, the internal audio, show yourself, and speak as well, you may need a program that allows everything. Let’s see how you can do all that.
1- Download Soundflower:
The soundflower is a system that works with the QuickTime player. So, installing and running soundflower will enable you to record the internal audio with the screen. So, once you complete the installation process, go to the MIDI setup via the search bar.
- Click on the (+) symbol present at the bottom left side of the window.
- Then create a multi-output device by selecting Build-in output and soundflower simultaneously.
- Remember that your master device should be set as the Build-in Output, and you can also rename the multi-output device. In the picture below, you can see it written as Screen Record w/ Audio.
- Go to “Sound” via the System Preferences and change the “Output” to the Multi-output device you created.
- You’re now good to start recording with the internal audio. Press Shift + Cmd + 5 to browse the QuickTime Player tools. Go to options and Select Microphone> Soundflower > record.
