When using Quicktime Player, how do i not show my desktop during screen recording?

When using Quicktime Player, I record games for my youtube channel. But when i look back at the recording, it shows the game, and whatever i have on my desktop as well on the far right. How do I fix this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hello meaganmarie,


I am assuming you have quicktime up to date (10.3)


When recording a game window,

- select quicktime

- go to file > New Movie Recording

- select your game window like a rectangular marquee selection (drag and make a rectangle filling only your game window

- stop when done and save


This way the endtire screen (including youe desktop) won't be seen, just your selected game window.
