Mac has QuickTime and Screenshot.app built in — but they record flat, boring videos with no zoom, no highlights, and no backgrounds. If you use Chrome on Mac, Zumie gives you professional recordings instantly.
QuickTime is free and built into every Mac. But it's a basic tool that gives you a raw, full-screen recording. No zoom, no highlights, no post-processing. Fine for personal use — terrible for professional content.

Screen Studio is an excellent Mac-native option at $89, but it's Mac-only and doesn't work in Chrome directly.
Install Zumie in Chrome on your Mac and get auto-zoom, click highlights, and beautiful backgrounds — features QuickTime will never have.
