Over the last couple of years the number of websites serving up video content has steadily increased. That includes big platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo as well as smaller individual websites that either embed or self-host videos as a form of content too.
As a rule of thumb, most of the video content on websites is in the form of online streaming videos. The reason for this is mostly because it is a convenient and effective way of serving up videos, as the video can start to play immediately and download as it goes along. However as much as online streaming videos are a great way to provide videos, they do come with one drawback: If you want to watch them later you need to be online and re-stream the video.
Needless to say this can be less than ideal and in some situations may not even be possible. At very least it will eat into your available data and bandwidth, which can be an issue especially for mobile internet users. Fortunately there is a way to get around this problem, and all you need is to know how to record the videos you want to watch later from websites using Movavi Screen Capture for Mac.
As a video recording software for Mac, Movavi Screen Capture for Mac can literally record anything and everything from your screen. In this case that means that you will want to set it up to record the website video – which may be on a part of your screen or its entirety.
Setting Movavi Screen Capture for Mac to record a specific area of your screen is easy, and once you launch it and enter the recording mode you can immediately do so by drawing a frame with your mouse cursor. Alternatively you will be able to select a preset afterwards, which will include the option to record in full-screen mode.
Aside from that the only other setting that you need to be concerned with when recording videos from websites is the audio source. To make sure that Movavi Screen Capture for Mac records audio from your speakers you should check that the ‘System Audio’ icon is highlighted. Assuming it is you can start recording at any time and when you stop it will immediately save the website video in MKV format in the default folder.
