About time. I just hope Apple makes this option available to QuickTime as well. I hated that I needed to rely on 3rd party software like Blackhole etc.

Exactly what I was looking for. I was surprised that when I downloaded the latest version of OBS, I was able to record desktop audio without any plugin. Awesome!

Is this still all the same in 30.1.2? I'm on latest version on MacOS 11.4 but I do not have these macOS audio/screen capture options.

Hey bud...I got caught out with this after the update...whats the difference between screen capture and audio capture....they both seem to record the desktop audio?

I thought it always recorded audio as well as video 🤷‍♂️

Hi! I apologize for the indiscreet question! Can you please tell me if American English is your native language? It's just that American English pronunciation is usually difficult to hear for non-native speakers, because Americans kind of "chew" the words. British pronunciation, for example, is a little easier to hear. And your pronunciation is even more intelligible than British pronunciation. So I would like to know if you are a native American and a native speaker from birth? Thank you in advance.

Thank you. No English is my second language.

@@Howfinity Thank you again for your quick response! Good luck to you!

Nothing is free. What do they get from you? Is this also spyware?
