Sena S.  Student That's useful for whoever want to record screen on Mac. However, according to my experience, QuickTime cannot only record the system audio by default. I find no way to close the microphone sound to avoid possible noise. Anyway, it's better to select a tool flexibly recording video with audio or without audio. If you ask me, which one? I'll say Joyoshare Screen Recorder, OBS, etc. More: joyoshare.com/screen-recorder-for-mac/ Jul 2nd 2020 22:43
