How to Record Video on MacBook Screen

Recording videos using your MacBook's screen is a great way to capture moments, share tutorials, or create educational content. With Photo Booth, a pre-installed app on all Macs, you can easily record high-quality video with just a few clicks.

To start recording, follow these steps:

First, open the Photo Booth app. You can do this by clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, navigating to the Applications folder, and double-clicking on Photo Booth. Alternatively, you can use Spotlight to quickly find and open the app by tapping CMD + Spacebar on your keyboard, typing 'Photo Booth,' and clicking Enter.

Once Photo Booth is open, click on the video camera icon in the lower-left corner of the screen to enter video mode. You will see a preview of what your webcam sees, but it's not recording yet.

To start recording, press the red record button. A timer will appear at the bottom-left corner of the screen, showing you the amount of time recorded so far. Your recording time is only limited by the amount of free storage space available on your Mac.

When you're ready to stop recording, press the red record button again. You can review and preview your video in the filmstrip below the recording window.

To access and save your recorded video, select Photo Booth as a source when in Finder or right-click on the thumbnail preview and click Export to save it elsewhere.

With these simple steps, you can easily record high-quality videos using your MacBook's screen. Whether you're creating content for social media, sharing with friends and family, or simply capturing memories, Photo Booth makes it easy to get started.
