Screen Recording on macOS Catalina

I'm sure Ben Franklin had Catalina in mind when he said "Those Who Sacrifice OS Security For UI Convenience Deserve Neither."

Seriously though, I'm willing to put up with mildly inconvenient UI changes (that diminish over time) in exchange for a more secure operating system.

It's a big hassle when you first upgrade or if you find yourself having to reinstall MacOS and are installing a lot of programs at once. In normal use day to day with the occasional security prompt when installing an application, it's less egregious.

If a website attempts to record screen, Chrome will pop up a modal dialog asking user to select if they want to record entire desktop, application window or tab. The user has to opt in every time before any screen recording takes place.

Outklip is a Chrome extension with a few additions compared to QuickTime:

* It lets you record camera along with screen, so you can be seen in the video. Gives videos a personal touch.

* Videos on Outklip are automatically uploaded to cloud storage, which lets you share them via a link instantly after recording. Saves you the step of uploading the video to gdrive, dropbox, etc. before sharing. The video creator can see who viewed and when.

* An easy to use video editor, which lets you add text labels, remove parts of video, crop region of video, convert to gif, etc.

* A YouTube integration that lets you post videos quickly and easily.

One thing Outklip lacks is the ability to record a selected portion of the screen, which Quicktime supports.

Hope this helps.

Command Shift 5 is also a pretty useful shortcut
