How To Record A Webinar On PC(Windows&Mac)

Recording a Webinar through inbuilt system apps is pretty easy on both the OS (Windows and Mac included). You can use the Xbox game bar in the case of Microsoft Windows and the Quick time Player on Mac. Just a follow-up caution for you to run the Xbox game bar in Windows and use it for recording purposes will be only possible if your video card supports the following encoders. These encoders function in a manner where the video input is further converted into a compatible video file.

Encoders list:

• Intel Quick Sync H.264
• Nvidia NVENC
• AMD VCE encoders

How to Use Xbox Game Bar to Record a Webinar

It’s a fairly direct process, you need to access your gaming settings and head over to the enable toggle button. The criteria for recording lie in your gaming console options of ‘system settings’. You need to activate the Xbox Game Bar to proceed with recording.

Let Us Understand More Broadly Through These Steps:

Step 1: Right-click on your windows icon. Access ‘settings’ from the list of options.

In the Settings window, click on ‘gaming’

Step 2: Now move to ‘Xbox Game Bar’. toggle it on. There is also a checkbox that exists where there is an option of using your console and controlling the Game bar, for that you need to press the ‘X’ option.

You can also see a list of options and shortcuts you can also feed in keys to change the combination and perform the action.

Step 3：The recording procedure is fairly amicable, simply press ‘WIN KEY + G’ to open the Xbox game bar.

You will see the main screen acts like a screen mirror and you can find a ‘faded black’ button in the below transparent menu, that’s your record button. Select the Record button with a simple click.

Step 4: You can ‘start’ and ‘stop’ according to convenience. All the recorded files will be stored in the videos ‘section’ of the user data folder in the C drive.

Xbox Game Bar is a great recording app but it has its limitations especially because it’s not a recording app, it’s a game-specific app that has a lot of functions in itself and works great if you have an Xbox 360.

How To Use Quick Time Player To Record A Webinar

The Quick Time Player is the most convenient of all methods to record something off of your screen on a Mac. Its criteria to use is fairly simple like any other player an easy interface with a folder import property and a simple record ‘on’ and ‘stop’ switch to finish recording.

Step-By-Step Process To Use Quick Time Player：

Step 1: First, you can open the Quicktime app from your Mac applications folder. In case, you do not have it there, you go to its official website and download its recent update.

Step 2: Click on the ‘File’ option, which you can access on the top menu of the program window. Then navigate in the list of options to ‘New screen recording’.

Now as soon as the QuickTime Player option opens, near the record button there is a downward arrow click on it and then click on the ‘microphone and cursor’ option.

Step 3: Now as the webinar is already opened on the web browser, now open your Quick Time Player application and press the ‘red’ button in the middle of its interface. You can click on the ‘net and drag’ screen’ to choose specific sections for the recording. In case a presentation given by someone is not visible. You can zoom into it.

Step 4: Once the recording is done click the ‘red’ button again, this time it acts as a ‘stop’ button.

Step 5: As soon as you are done recording, you will have the option to preview it, click that and see if the clip is alright, and then save the file. To save, the steps are simple: Go to the File option>then access export from the list of options> and select the specific location for you to save your file.

And hence your file is completely saved, you can access it later.

Quick Time Player is a good app but it has its own restrictions and limitations. If you compare it with safe third-party apps, it has limited options. You cannot choose the export file quality. You have very limited scope in customizing the file.
