Onboarding videos
Walk new users or teammates through setup once, then send the same video to everyone who joins.
MAKE YOURSELF CLEAR
Product demos, tutorials and updates people actually watch.
Record your Mac screen and your camera, then edit with zooms, captions and layouts. Here is how makers, teachers, creators and teams use it.
FOR MAKERS & FOUNDERS
Product demo videos that show one thing well.
Start with the result, walk through the one interaction that matters, and leave your audience with a clear next step. A focused product demo can explain what a paragraph can’t.
How the app helps
- Zoom in on each click, so the part that matters is easy to read
- Introduce yourself with a name card, and blur sample data you'd rather not show
- Export 16:9 for your site and 1:1 or 4:5 for social posts
Tips
- Show one feature, not the entire product.
- Use a clean demo workspace with sample data.
- End with the action you want someone to take.
FOR EDUCATORS & CREATORS
Tutorial videos people can follow.
A tutorial works best when the viewer can follow along. Break the process into a few steps and let the screen do the heavy lifting.
How the app helps
- Captions made on your Mac, with each word highlighted as it's said
- Cut long pauses and filler words in one go
- Show every click and smooth the pointer, so nobody loses track
Tips
- Set the goal before opening the app.
- Pause briefly after each important action.
- Review the result at the size people will watch.
FOR YOUTUBE CREATORS
Screen recordings for YouTube, Shorts and Reels.
Record once, then publish everywhere: a wide video for your channel and a tall cut for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, with your face where it belongs.
How the app helps
- Up to 4K at 60 fps, in H.264 or HEVC
- Your camera in a bubble, side by side, or full screen
- Captions in the video, plus an .srt file to upload with it
Tips
- Choose the shape you'll publish before you start editing.
- Keep your camera in a corner the app you record doesn't use.
- Upload the .srt file to YouTube together with the video.
FOR ASYNC TEAMS
Async video updates for your team.
Give a teammate a useful tour of a bug, a design decision, or a work-in-progress. Keep the recording short enough to watch between meetings.
How the app helps
- Record one window, so nothing else on your screen gets in
- Blur private details before anyone sees them
- An MP4 in a folder you choose, small enough to send anywhere
Tips
- Say what needs attention in the first sentence.
- Keep unrelated tabs and notifications out of view.
- Finish with a specific question or next step.
Onboarding, presentations and bug reports.
Recorded presentations
Record your slides with your camera in a bubble and your microphone, then cut the pauses before you share.
Bug reports and support
Record the window where it goes wrong, blur anything private, and attach the MP4 to the ticket.
Questions, answered.
Is it a Loom alternative for Mac?
If you use Loom for quick updates: Mac Screen Recorder records and edits on your Mac and saves an MP4 you can send any way you like. It doesn't host videos or make share links.
Can I record a presentation with my camera?
Yes. Record the slides window or the whole screen with your camera in a bubble and your microphone, then cut the pauses in the editor.
Which format is best for YouTube Shorts and Reels?
Export 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, and 16:9 for a regular YouTube video. Both come from the same recording.
Can I add captions to a tutorial?
Yes. Captions are made on your Mac from what you said; you can edit and style them and export them as a subtitle file.
How do I keep private details out of a team update?
Record a single window instead of the whole screen, and blur or pixelate anything private in the editor before you share.
Press record. That's it.
For every Mac with Apple silicon. Set up in a minute.
