3. To start recording, click the    button and  then take one of these actions:

* Click anywhere on the screen to begin recording the entire screen.

After you stop recording, QuickTime Player automatically opens the recording. Save this file to your computer. You can now use that file to upload to your classroom or your Zoom meeting.
