Recording Zoom Calls and Audio

Recording your Zoom video and audio calls on your Mac.

By default, Zoom's audio is recorded by Screenflick. If you've changed Zoom's audio output device (for example, to your headphones), change that setting again.

How do I record a Zoom call on my Mac?

Set the "Speaker" setting in Zoom's audio preferences to "Same as System" or "Screenflick Loopback", turn on "Record System Audio" in Screenflick, and start recording. Keep reading.

Why can't I hear Zoom after choosing Screenflick Loopback?

You won't hear Zoom until you start a recording in Screenflick. Then you'll hear everything normally. Keep reading.

The Short Version #

  1. Change your Speaker setting in Zoom to "Screenflick Loopback", or to "Same as System".
  2. Start the recording in Screenflick.

There is no step three.

In Detail #

To record a Zoom call

  1. System Preferences. In System Preferences → Sound → Output, select your headphones so the other participants' voices don't get picked up by your microphone.

  2. Zoom. In Zoom → Preferences → Audio, prefer "Same as System" for the Speaker setting. If you do that, you can always hear and record Zoom without trouble.

    An alternative is to select "Screenflick Loopback" directly instead of Same as System. After changing this setting, you won't hear any audio from Zoom until you start a recording in Screenflick. Then you'll hear everything normally.

    Most people find that "Same as System" works properly and needs no settings changes when recording. Choosing Screenflick Loopback is the sure way to know it will be recorded.

  3. Screenflick. Select your microphone device and turn on Record System Audio as well.
  4. Start recording. After you start the recording, you'll hear everything as you expect. You can also check Screenflick's menu in the right side of the menu bar and watch the audio level indicator move as you and others talk, to know audio is being recorded.
