Key Takeaways

Use OBS Studio to easily capture your Mac screen, internal computer audio, webcam, and microphone entirely for free.
This native internal audio setup requires macOS 13 Ventura or newer; if you are running macOS 12 Monterey or older, you will need to follow this older Mac workaround tutorial.
Configure your Output Settings to use MP4 format and H.264 encoding to guarantee high-quality video that works with almost all editing software.
Map custom keyboard hotkeys (like F10) to start and stop recordings to eliminate the need to trim the beginning and end of your videos.
Add a macOS Screen Capture source, then right-click the preview and select Resize output (source size) to perfectly fit your display to the video frame.
Monitor the Audio Mixer before recording to ensure your microphone levels stay below 0 dB (out of the red) to prevent distorted, clipping audio.
