Will you be watching it on Zoom? If so, the program has a built-in screen recorder.

Otherwise, you can use the Mac itself to record your screen or a portion thereof. Here's how.

Say Chas, Do you have any tips on how to get the audio to record well using the Quicktime Player method? I am using a Mac Mini with an Asus display so have had to use a Logitech webcam. If I use the QT record options with microphone set to "none", of course I get no sound recorded. If I instead set the record options with microphone set to "HD Pro Webcam C920" I get sound at very low volume and very muddy as the webcam tries to pick up what it hears from external speakers I have mounted on a shelf above and slightly behind the display. I have also tried unplugging those external speakers so I just get the sound from the garbage internal speakers in my display but that gave equally poor results in the screen recording. What would be nice is some way to route the internal audio directly to the recording without needing to depend on the microphone to pick up what it hears.

Interestingly I had a really old version of Piezo on my Mac. I just checked and it offered a free upgrade to a version that works with Sequoia. Now I will have to learn how to use it (before I actually need it!)

OK, so Quicktime Player does a good job of capturing the video portion of a video conference but not so good at the audio. Piezo does a great job at capturing the audio but doesn't get the video. So how can you sync the two?

All you have to do is record - separately - the video and audio, move them into iMovie and sync them.

Now! … having shared that piece of wisdom! … that is exactly what I have done with two files (video and audio) EXCEPT for the syncing part.

My proficiency with iMovie has been pretty darn good in the past but I've not used it for quite a number of years,

I now need someone to give me a few tips to refresh my memory.
(Online Help never seems to have the exact piece of information needed.)
Kindly contact me if you can help, please … dickfaulks@icloud.com

Thanks!
