Looking for an active screen and sound capture app

I would like to record the video and audio being shown on a screen - ideally compatible for Mojave.

Is there such an app - if so what is it called?

Thanks for any pointers

I believe that Quicktime does screen recording

Failing that, Capto works well and I seem to recall better at capturing the sound that Quicktime. If Euan sees this he may give more details.

Thanks David for the heads up. I always use Capto instead of Quicktime because it can capture either your whole screen or a selected part of it using the internal computer sound rather than recording the computer's speaker sounds which are generally high pitched and subject to any police sirens, coughs, sneezes, baby cries, untimely calls to the door that may intrude.

Unhesitating recommendation. Absolute delight. Check it out, help here if needed.

Thanks Euan. I have downloaded Capto and briefly viewed their tutorials. However, as a complete beginner, I need a simple introductory tutorial by a presenter speaking slowly. Wondering if you or anyone can give a link for this?

Mojave supports screen and audio recording.

Roy: would a 'phone tutorial at an agreed time be useful? We would both have Capto on our screens to explore in parallel. Mick or David can pass on my landline number, I don't have yours, and we should not publish them on this forum.

The use of the various Capto products would be a useful Zoom topic.

Re the use of Capto There is another Capto product - AV Recorder & Screen Capture, however it does not download the full product - only the Light product at the moment.

Thanks Euan, a phone tutorial would be very helpful to get me started. I will follow up soon.
