Mac Catalina Screen Capture

Ever since macOS Mojave (10.14), Soundflower, the go to free sound plugin that overcame Apple Quicktime’s inability to include audio to screen recordings has ceased working with subsequent macOS’. With Catalina (10.15), Apple has introduced a new security and privacy update for Mac. You must grant access to XD to record the contents of your screen. To grant access to XD for screen recording, from the Apple menu, go to System Preferences Security & Privacy, and click Privacy. Click Screen Recording from the left pane, and select Adobe XD. Click in the onscreen controls. Your pointer changes to a camera. Click any screen to start recording that screen, or click Record in the onscreen controls. To stop recording, click in the menu bar.
