Hello, I am trying to record videos with Quicktime (record screen/desktop) and all is recording fine Audio and Video.
However, I would like to connect an external mic to it for better sound quality. I do not seem to find the mic in at the back of the iMac. there is only an input for headphones but not mic!!!
How do i connect an external microphone to my iMac??
Thanks!!

If your Mac has separate ports for input and output, the sound input port has a microphone icon. If your Mac has only one sound port, it has a headphones icon (
) and can be used for both input and output.
I recently read that if you have just the one audio port you can use it for either input or output.
When you say "recording fine Audio and Video" I'm questioning your definition of fine.
I just got through making a "Screen recording" utilizing QuickTime Player, Version 10.4 (855) w/ the audio option set to internal/built-in microphone. As I made the recording and when I spoke there was a distinct echo. It was still there when I played the recording.
Thanks for the reply.
When I say fine I mean that it is recording, not great audio quality, but recording. I will try to plug the mic in the headphone in and see if it works. Many thanks!!
