FAQ
Mac screen recording questions
What is the Mac shortcut for screen recording?
Shift-Command-5 opens the macOS screenshot toolbar, which can record the entire screen or a selected part. This recorder adds pause, a webcam bubble, and tab sound in the browser.
Why does my Mac block screen sharing?
macOS asks the first time a browser records the screen. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording (Screen Recording on older macOS), turn your browser on, and restart it.
Can it record the sound my Mac plays?
It records a browser tab's sound in Chrome and Edge when you share that tab and tick Share tab audio. Sound from other Mac apps usually cannot be captured by a browser.
