Here are a couple recommendations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Zoom<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; In addition to being a great resource for web meetings, Zoom will let folks with both free and paid accounts make local recordings. It&#8217;s super simple to do: You&#8217;ll basically just host a meeting without any attendees, share your screen to meeting, and record the meeting as you go. This is a good option for both PC users and Mac users. You can find full instructions for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/201362473-Local-recording\" target=\"_blank\">using Zoom to record your screen<\/a> here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/how-to\/how-to-capture-video-clips-in-windows-10\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Game Bar for Windows 10<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Game Bar was originally designed so that gamers could record their screen while playing, but it works great for any other screen recording needs.

Try to eliminate as much background noise as possible while you&#8217;re recording. It can be helpful to record using headphones that have a built in mic, but it&#8217;s not required. <\/p>\n<div class=\"footnotes\"><hr \/><ol><li id=\"footnote-1-548\" class=\"footnote\"><p>If you&#8217;re taking a residential NMI course, you can always use a classroom Mac.
