Recording Your Screen with Audio

Before you start, make sure that your MacBook Air has a built-in camera and microphone. Most Macs have these features, including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac. If you're using a Mac mini or MacPro, you'll need to connect an external camera and microphone first.

3. A window will appear asking you to select a camera and microphone. Choose your built-in FaceTime video camera and internal microphone.

4. Click on the record button again to start recording your screen and audio.

Recording Audio Only

If you just want to make an audio recording using your MacBook Air, follow these steps:

1. Open QuickTime Player from your Applications folder or Spotlight search.

2. Select 'New Audio Recording' from the File menu within QuickTime Player.

3. A window will appear asking you to select a microphone. Choose your internal microphone.

4. Click on the record button to start recording your audio.

Saving Your Recordings

Once you've finished recording, you can save your file in various formats, including MP4 and MOV. To do this:

1. Select 'File' > 'Save' from the menu bar.

2. Enter a desired file name in the Export As field, then select a folder where you'd like to save it.

3. Click the Save button.

Recording your screen or making an audio recording on your MacBook Air is easy using QuickTime Player. With these simple steps, you can capture video and audio content for sharing with others or saving for later use.
