How to Screen Record on MacBook Air with Audio

If you want to record your screen activity, including audio, on your MacBook Air, the process is relatively straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Step 1: Prepare for Recording

Before you start recording, make sure that your microphone is selected. This will ensure that your audio records properly during the video clip.

Step 2: Trim and Edit Your Video Clip

Once you've finished recording, you can trim and edit your video clip using the built-in QuickTime player. To do this, click on the yellow hold points at the beginning and end of the recording and drag them inwards to trim the video. Alternatively, you can click on the 'Trim' button that appears beside 'Done' to edit your video clip.

Step 3: Locate Your Recording

After you've finished recording, you'll find the video recording on your Desktop. Click on it to open the video in Quick Look.

Step 4: Stop the Recording

When you're ready to stop the recording, click on the 'Stop' button that appears in the Menu bar (beside the timer), or press Shift+Command+5 again and press the stop button in the menu that appears.

Step 5: Choose Your Recording Options

Before starting the recording, you can select which area of your screen to record. You can either click on the 'Record Selected Portion' option or drag the box over the area you want to record.

Step 6: Record Multiple Screens (Optional)

If you have more than one screen, click and hold on the 'Record' button and you'll see the option 'Screen 1' and 'Screen 2'. You can also choose to record your entire screen by clicking on the 'Record Entire Screen' option.

Step 7: Open the Screenshot Toolbar

To open the screenshot toolbar, press Command+Shift+5. This will give you access to a range of recording options, including the built-in Screen Record tool in Mojave.

With these steps, you should be able to record your screen activity with audio on your MacBook Air.
