How to Screen Record on Mac
Screen recording on a Mac is straightforward. First, ensure that you have macOS Mojave (10.14) or later. Open the QuickTime Player from your Applications folder. Click File and then select New Screen Recording from the dropdown menu.
Once the recording interface appears, you can choose to record the entire screen or just a portion. To start, hit the record button. You’ll be prompted to select a screen area. If you’re recording system audio, ensure your microphone is set up correctly from the options available.
After finishing your recording, click the stop button in the menu bar, and then save your video. Voila! You’ve successfully recorded your screen.

For iPhones with a Home button, press and hold the side button until you see the slider. Drag the slider to turn your iPhone off. Wait for about 30 seconds before turning it back on using the side button.
A simple restart is often the quickest troubleshooting step for your device, so keep it in your troubleshooting arsenal!
