A way to screen record with internal audio output?

[ian87w]

I just realized that macOS cannot do this out of the box. Quicktime screen recording only records audio from microphone input, but not audio ouput generated by the system. Eg. if I want to screen record a conference call on Zoom/Teams, it only records my microphone, not the rest of the audio.

Am I missing something? I tried looking around Google but seems like the solutions are quite convoluted, or require a paid third party app. I would think Apple being "creative" friendly would make something like this easy. Anybody have any suggestions?

I worked this out a few weeks ago for my wife when she wanted to record a parent/teacher zoom... thing for someone who couldn't join at the time.

In my work, I'm using Loom to record the desktop screen using the internal audio like a headset with microphone. You also have the option on having a small inset of yourself in the screen while talking. Good for tutorials or explaining a process.
