Part 3 How to Record Screen and Webcam at the Same Time on Mac

In fact, your Mac computer itself comes with a screen and webcam recorder, QuickTime Player. It is a free multimedia software compatible with all Mac computers that allows you to record your face, screen, audio, or all three simultaneously.

Here's how to record screen and webcam simultaneously on Mac using QuickTime Player:

Step 1

Open QuickTime Player on your Mac, and select "File" > "New Movie Recording". It will open a “camera window”, which you will use to record your face.
