So let's grab that and now look in the Downloads folder and there it is. Then you should click on the Catalina Go Here button and download it. But you can just search for iShowU Audio Capture and it should take you right here. I'll include a link to this page at this post at. I already have it in my screen recording software.īut if you want to do it for free using the QuickTime PlayerĪnd just record your screen and get that audio you can take the iShowU Audio Capture extension, get that for free, and then configure it so it works with QuickTime. So I don't really need this kind of thing. I use ScreenFlow to make these tutorials which is pro level software that includes the ability to record the audio from your Mac. So you may consider getting their software if you want pro screen recording software. They just don't support it if you don't buy their own software. But they made it a separate thing and they've allowed people to download it and use it with their own screen recording software if they want. Now they created that for their own software. However the developer, ShinyWhiteBox, which creates this screen recording software here has an extension that does that.

But unfortunately that doesn't work with Mojave or Catalina and it's no longer developed. Now there used to be an extension that everybody used called Sound Flower. So in order to record the audio of your Mac you need a system extension that's going to take the audio output of your Mac and pipe it into your screen recording software. However there is one third party extension that you could get for free that allows you to get the audio along with your QuickTime screen recording.

But if you're looking to do it for free using the QuickTime player on your Mac to do the capture then you're usually out of luck. Now professional screen capture software will do this. It makes it very useful to be able to narrate what's going on but if what you're recording also really requires the audio as well as the screen then you're out of luck. Instead you get the audio just from your microphone. Normally when you do a screen capture say using QuickTime Player or a lot of third party apps you don't get any of the audio from the Mac. Or if there's a video or something else going on on your Mac that's also captured as part of the screen recording. For instance if there's an alert sound that plays it's captured as part of the screen recording.
