How can I record gameplay on a Mac?
Posted On: August 19, 2023

I can find plenty of information on recording programs for Windows, but information for OS X is much harder to find. What are the requirements and steps for recording gameplay on a Mac?


Question from user fredley at stackexchange.


Answer:

For windowed games (such as Minecraft), QuickTime does a good enough job, just drag around the gameplay window. It doesn't seem to impact framerate too much, although it doesn't have an overlay like Fraps so it's hard to tell.
