When it launched the Mojave operating system in 2018, Apple introduced built-in screen recording for the macOS (and came down hard on other screen recording apps).

If you have macOS Mojave or a later version, you’ll be able to access this feature. Show If you have an older Mac or just haven’t updated your operating system in ages, not to worry – you still have a fairly easy option to screen record with QuickTime. Here are your options.

Trim your recordingIf you click on the thumbnail when it appears, the recording will open, which will allow you to edit the video. If the thumbnail has already been saved to your desired location, you can open it by clicking on the file and hitting the spacebar. (You can also open it in Quicktime by double clicking on it or right clicking the file and selecting “Open With > QuickTime”)
