How to screen record with audio on a PC or Mac
Movavi Screen Recorder is an easy-to-use screen recording program with video-editing capabilities. The software includes a free trial version, and you can purchase a subscription or a lifetime license for the full program. The idea behind Movavi Screen Recorder is to enable users to create professional-level screen recorded videos without spending a ton of time and effort learning how to use complicated software.
Simple screen recording with audio (or without) can be accomplished in a few simple steps, but it’s also worthwhile to put a little time into exploring Movavi’s additional features. For example, the software makes it easy to enhance screen recorded videos by highlighting mouse clicks, showing or hiding cursor movement, adding live animations, and other effects. Once you finish recording, you can trim your video to cut out unwanted parts.
Here’s how to screen record with audio on a PC or Mac using Movavi Screen Recorder:
Step 1. Download Movavi Screen Recorder
First, download the installation file. Once you’ve downloaded it, open the installer and follow the prompts to install and launch Movavi Screen Recorder on your PC or Mac. When you’re done, open the program and get started.
Step 2. Set your recording settings
Once you’ve installed and opened the program, it’s time to get started with your screen recording with sound. Before you start recording, explore a few of the options available to you in the software. On the right of the screen, you’ll see a few options. Click the Preferences button. The General tab gives you the ability to highlight clicks, hide or show your cursor while recording, and capture keystrokes. This is also where you’ll choose if you want to hide the recording panel while recording. You can also select your webcam settings, effects, and pre-schedule recordings by choosing the appropriate tools and features here.
When you’re done adjusting your recording settings, click OK, and you’ll be ready to get started with your recording.
Step 3. Choose your recording parameters
Click on the Screen recording button and then set your recording parameters. Before you start recording, be sure to select which part of your screen you want to capture. You can opt to draw a customized rectangle on your screen with your mouse. You can also choose to record your entire screen or a single window or application. In the recording toolbar, you’ll see options to set up your recording to fit your needs. Toggle the Webcam icon on to record your webcam footage and include an overlay of yourself in your video recording. To capture your voice, click the Microphone icon and make sure that you have the appropriate microphone selected to record your voice-over during your screen recording. When you have your parameters set, it’s time to start your recording.
Step 4. Record your screen with sound
To record your screen and audio, click on the REC button to start. If you’re planning on recording a live webinar or other digital presentation, keep in mind that the program gives you a three-second countdown before it starts recording. This is a handy feature when you’re livestreaming or recording yourself on your webcam, but you should be aware of it if you’re recording someone else’s presentation (so that you don’t accidentally cut off the beginning of the video). While recording, you can Pause at any time, and then restart by hitting the REC button again. When you’re done with your recording, simply hit the Stop button.
Step 5. Edit and save your screen recording
After you stop recording, you can edit your video right in Movavi Screen Recorder. You can use the built-in editing tool to trim your video. Once you’re done with your edits, simply click on the Export button to choose your preferred output file format and finally hit the Save button to save your video.
How to start screen recording with audio on iOS
Now, let’s talk about how to record a screen with audio on an iPhone. If you have an iPhone or iPad, your device has a built-in video and audio screen recorder. This free feature is already enabled on all updated iOS devices, and it’s fairly simple to use. The only drawback to using this feature is that it will not record your screen and voice at the same time, only system audio or music.
Follow the steps below to learn how to use Apple’s screen recorder with sound:
1. Slide down the top-right corner of your screen to access your phone’s Control Center.
2. The screen recording button is a gray circle icon. You need to tap this icon to start recording your screen.
3. The screen recording feature will give a three-second countdown before recording begins.
4. Swipe up to exit the Control Center and perform the actions or go to the video that you want to capture.
5. When you’re done, go back to the Control Center and tap the red Record button to stop recording.
Your recording will be saved to your Photos. You can make basic edits to the video on your phone or export it to finish editing in a third-party program.
How to record the screen with audio on Android
One of the options to capture your screen with audio on Android devices is to use a third-party screen recording app, like AZ Screen Recorder. AZ Screen Recorder is a free and easy-to-use recording app for Android devices. It provides an easy way for Android users to capture sound and video on their screens without a separate device and without the need to mirror their device on a desktop or laptop. The livestreaming functionality does make it possible to capture your voice in a screen recording, but you must make sure that you’re using the correct mode to add your microphone feed while screen recording.
