There are two built-in methods for recording your screen on a Mac:

1. QuickTime Player:

   • Open QuickTime Player. It's usually found in the Applications folder.
   • Go to File > New Screen Recording.
   • You'll see recording options on-screen. Here's a breakdown:
     • Click anywhere to record the entire screen.
     • Drag to select a specific area for recording.
     • Click the dropdown menu next to the record button to choose the microphone (if you want to record audio) and other options.
   • Click the record button (red circle) to start recording.
   • Click the stop recording button (square) in the menu bar when you're done.
   • QuickTime Player will automatically open your recording for playback, editing, or saving.

2. Screenshot Tool:

   • Use the keyboard shortcut Shift-Command-5 (or open Screenshot from Launchpad).
   • This opens a menu with various capture options.
   • Click the record button (looks like a camera recording icon) to record the entire screen.
   • Alternatively, click and hold the record button to choose whether to record the entire screen, a specific window, or a selected portion.
   • Click the stop recording button (appears as a square) in the menu bar to stop recording.
   • Your screen recording will be saved to your desktop by default.
