How to do a screen recording on mac?

The most elegant way is to use the built-in tool. Press Shift + Command + 5. This brings up a control bar at the bottom of your screen. You’ll see icons to record either the entire display or a selected portion. I suggest exploring the ‘Options’ menu first; you can set where to save the file. When ready, just click ‘Record’. To finish, a small stop icon appears in your top menu bar. Voilà! For more control, QuickTime Player also offers a superb recording feature under its ‘File’ menu. It is very reliable.
