How Do I Record with My Mac Microphone?

Rel updated on May 10, 2024 to Screen Recorder Questions and Answers

I was making a video tutorial for my students but found no sound in my recorded video. How did this happen? Did I operate QuickTime in the wrong way? Please help me out, thanks.

Hi there. It's common to see people record videos with no sound after a long time of recording. According to my experience, the three questions listed below are the main reasons this situation occurs a lot.

😵Check the following aspects to see if you have the wrong set using QuickTime:

  • Is the connection between the external microphone and the Mac computer stable?
  • Did you choose the correct audio source in QuickTime?
  • Has your microphone turned on?

For your notice, remember to check the tips above before recording next time. If your problems stay unsolved after checking, I suggest you try another professional screen recorder, EaseUS RecExperts for Mac.
