Hey Tommy12082003,



Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are creating a screen recording in QuickTime and wish to record audio. To do so, you’ll want to click the disclosure triangle and choose an audio source (ex. Built-in Microphone), as the screen recording defaults to no microphone.


Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files

Clicking the triangle in this window gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, or another connected microphone, or no microphone at all. This menu also lets you select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click). You can also choose where to save your screen recording when finished.



Thanks,



Matt M.
