how to screen record on macbook

To screen record on a MacBook, the easiest way is to use the built-in Screenshot toolbar by pressing the keys Shift + Command + 5 together. This opens an onscreen toolbar where you can choose to record the entire screen or just a selected portion. You can also customize options like setting a timer, choosing a microphone for audio recording, and deciding where to save the recording. To start recording, click the Record button on the toolbar. To stop, click the stop icon in the menu bar or press Command + Control + Esc. The recording will then be saved to the chosen location, typically the desktop. Alternatively, QuickTime Player can also be used by opening the app, selecting File > New Screen Recording, and following similar steps. Both methods are free and built into macOS.
