We've talked about recording your screen on an iPhone, and also how to do it on an Android phone. What if you want to do this on a Mac? There could be a number of reasons to do this - from recording an error to send to tech support, or to show someone how to do something in an app, or simply showing off the latest ‘kill’ in your favourite game. Whatever the reason, it's pretty easy to make a recording of your screen on a Mac. All you need to do is run Apple’s own QuickTime - which comes pre-installed on every Mac - and use the screen recording feature that’s already baked in.
The QuickTime recording also gives you a couple of interesting options, such as recording only part of the screen - helpful if you want to make a tutorial that's uncluttered, for example. It also lets you select audio input sources, if you want to record a voice-over instead of just the on-screen contents. Here's what you need to know in order to record the screen on your Mac.

The resulting video also looked fine, so this looks like a simple and reliable method anyone can use.
