audio? Recording your online classes is easy with a Mac device. ![Image 25: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/RESOURCES_hero_mac_rec_998882a8b6.svg) Recording your online classes is easy with a Mac device. Get up to speed with our quick, 3-step process. ## On Mac, you can only record audio using the Google Chrome browser So why are there there options? Genio Notes is a web app, which means that everyone sees the same choices. The important thing to know is that the ‘Chrome tab’ setting is the one for you. Want to know how to record with a Windows device? Here's how it works: ![Image 26: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/22f12d8c_group_56_10kk0ep000000000000028_d708df0b15.png) #### Step 1: By default, Genio Notes records from your microphone but clicking below the record button allows you to choose other options. ![Image 27: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_rec_options_1_cc04c9d49b.png) #### Step 2: By selecting “record screen audio” you can record audio from video classes directly into Genio Notes If you still want to record your own contributions (in a seminar, for example), select 'record screen audio and mic' from the record button drop-down. ![Image 28: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_rec_options_2_73a36b9db9.png) #### Step 3: Simply select the Chrome tab you wish to record from, tick ‘share audio’ and click ‘share’. Genio Notes will immediately begin recording audio from the source you’ve selected. ![Image 29: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_rec_options_3_ef6872604b.png) ## Using Genio Notes with split screen Split screen lets you watch or read something on one side of your computer screen, and work with Genio Notes on the other side. #### Step 1: Hover your pointer over the edge of the screen. You should see your cursor change from the pointer to a horizontal arrow. ![Image 30: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_win_split_1_cd2197f406.png) #### Step 2: Click and hold your mouse and drag the edge of the screen to the left. ![Image 31: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_mac_split_3_c41e5b209d.png) #### Step 3: Repeat this step for your other browser window and ta-da! you’re all done! ![Image 32: How to record audio online with Mac](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_mac_split_1_718a78afcf.png) ![Image 33: Empower learners of all abilities](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/gfe-f0fdad9ac5dd64d98fa9c57cdf4bee4f.svg) ## Empower learners of all abilities Talk to us about how Genio Notes can support and improve note taking skills.
