Can we Pause Screen Recording while Recording on MacbookPro?

Hey Faizi!

The OS on my current Mac isn’t up to date, but this still shows in my help menu and seems to work:

Did you hold the Option key and click the record button while doing so?

Hope that function still works!

Thank you for your helpful reply, faizi5596,

Unfortunately, seems there is nothing documented about "pausing" a screen recording that is in progress.

(Sorry I haven't upgraded to Monterey, as yet, on this computer to test it out.)

There is another discussion thread which aptly displays how to use the controls that appear while screen recording.

(You might want to experiment with those "top-menu" controls.)

Seems this informative article from Apple support also doesn't mention pausing, though it points towards editing etc,

Hi faizi5596,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

Wondering which method / app you are using for screen recording.

This short video gives a method for QuickTime:
