How to screen record on a Mac with Chrome

First-time setup on macOS

1. Install Zoomr

   and pin it in Chrome's toolbar.

2. Allow microphone and camera

   for Chrome in macOS if you want them: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone (and Camera) → turn on Google Chrome. macOS asks you to quit and reopen Chrome.

3. Check your shortcut.

   On a Mac, Chrome turns Zoomr's Ctrl into ⌘, so recording is usually ⌘+Shift+E. See your actual keys at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Recording

1. Open the page

   to record and press ⌘+Shift+E (or the popup's Record button).

2. Zoom

   with a two-finger click on the trackpad (or Control+click). Keep pressing with two fingers for the deep zoom.

3. Draw

   by pressing and holding the trackpad, then dragging.

4. Blur anything by hand

   with Option+click while recording.

5. Stop

   with ⌘+Shift+E.

Mac-specific tips

• On Retina screens, set Recording quality to 16–32 Mbps in Settings for crisp text.
• Use 60 fps for smooth scrolling and animations.
• Avoid ⌘ combinations macOS uses for screenshots (⌘+Shift+3/4/5) if you rebind shortcuts.
