Ever since macOS Mojave (10.14), Soundflower, the go to free sound plugin that overcame Apple Quicktime’s inability to include audio to screen recordings has ceased working with subsequent macOS’.

Apowersoft Mac Screen Recorder is one of the best software that can be used to record your screen along with audio on macOS 10.15. It comes with advanced recording function and smart task scheduler that makes it a perfect tool for any enthusiast.

There’s now a fix for this in the form of Existential Audio’s virtual audio driver that allows applications to pass audio to other applications with zero latency.

The newest version of macOS, 10.15 'Catalina', is now available. However, OBS Studio is currently not yet fully compatible with it. These issues stem from a change to the way Catalina handles permissions for things such as capturing webcams and microphones. For example, if you have a webcam capture in one of your scenes, OBS will crash. In order to grant macOS 'Screen Recording' permission for development (or any other permission like microphone or camera access) you must sign your debug builds with your AppleID certificate. This applies for Swift/C/Objective-C or any other language. It's easy and free to do: Simply click at your project.

If you have updated your Mac computer to macOS 10.15 Catalina or higher, you will need to update your security settings to enable Screen Recording access and Microphone access for the UserTesting Browser Recorder and the UserTesting Screen Recorder. Troubleshooting - Recording Failed to Start Recording on MacOS Catalina The newest version of MacOS, Catalina, requires users to allow screen recording.

You first need to download the BlackHole.vx.x.x.pkg from Existential Audio and follow the install process detailed at their BlackHole web site.Once you’ve successfully installed the BlackHole audio driver, all you then need to do is select “BlackHole 16ch” as the output device from your System Preferences > Sound > Output tab:

Alternatively, you can also toggle it from within your Volume menu in your macOS menu bar:

Mac Os Catalina Versions

Once you’ve done that, please note that your system will no longer produce any sound output from its ordinary output device, so during your screen recording the system will be mute.

Launch Quicktime and start a New Screen Recording:

Select your recording area and then in the Options menu on the control pane, select BlackHole 16ch under the Microphone preferences:

Click Record to begin your screen recording.

If you ever intend to remove BlackHole:

Restart CoreAudio with Terminal command sudo launchctl kickstart -kp system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod
