Screen Recorder for Mac tutorial:
1. Visit the OBS Studio website and download the macOS installer.
2. Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install OBS Studio on your Mac.
By default, OBS includes a scene. You can rename it or create a new one by clicking the “+” button in the “Scenes” panel.
3. In the “Sources” panel, click the “+” button and select Display Capture.
4. If you want to capture audio from your Mac, make sure your system audio is set up. On macOS, this might require additional software because OBS doesn’t capture system sound natively.
5. Click the Start Recording button on the bottom right of the OBS Studio interface.
You can monitor the recording via the OBS preview window. Make sure the correct sources are visible and the audio levels are appropriate.
