Hi guys,
I am facing the following problem.
I want to capture my screen while i am playing a game.
I also want to record my voice but i want to have the video with the game audio and my voice as a seperate file to mix them later.
If anyone has an idea, let me know.

Hi!
Try to transmit video on iphone and ipad and use built-in tools in iPad or iPhone.
If you cannot make that. Then I don't know It is a trivial action.
Cheers!
Not possible
The game is on mac so its not possible.
I actually record then talk…
I actually record then talk over the recording later. it works well.
QuickTime Player
You can set up Quicktime Player to record your screen. Instructions for this are online and easy to follow and accessible using VoiceOver. You may need to set up a hotspot to stop recording.
Audio will come out of your speakers and your Mac's mic will pick up your voice. I recently used this technique to show the accessibility of a client's website. It works well, even though the audio isn't studio-quality.
Using Cmd+Shift+5
I was really struggling with this and found this post so thought I'd update with my findings.
Firstly, I was going into Quick time and starting a new screen recording. This brings up the same dialog as Cmd+Shift+5. So I setup my microphone, choose to record entire screen and hit record and then....
Well, at that point it's not clear what is happening. QuickTime Player has no windows. There is a system dialog you can find using Application Chooser (VO+F1 twice I think) but it's just the same record window again.
I am certain that when I last tried this, at this point QUicktime would have some sort of page up with some controls, most importantly stop recording. However, now this does not appear to be the case.
However, I found that if I then press Cmd_Shift+5 again the dialog now has the option to Stop Recording. If you select that, you go to a weird dialog that has just one button called, I think, Markup. This dialog is weird because whatever button you press it goes ping until you activate the Markup button with VO+Space. Then you get a menu where you can choose Done or Delete.
If you choose Done it saves it to wherever you selected under Options before. So when I tried this I had a new file called "Screen Recording" with a timestamp after it and it was in my Desktop.
I'm not sure if this change was intentional or if it's a VoiceOver bug. But it's not very intuitive. Unless you know the Cmd+Shift+5 shortcut then I'm not sure how you would have any idea what to do. I certainly didn't!
(Edit - I added this to the wrong forum post, although this one was quite similar. I'll leave it here as I'm not sure how to delete it and it's still relevant, but apologies as I'll post the exact same thing again in the right place...)
