How do I record movies in-game? This was possible back when I played in BC/WoTLK

Support Mac Technical Support

I’m playing WoW Classic now and I am loving it, but I don’t see an option to set a key bind to record movies within the game. When I played in BC/WoTLK, this was an option that was available within the game without any setup at all.

I found a link on wowwiki website, but unfortunately I cannot post a direct link to the page.

This is what the page says:

This recorder is supported by Blizzard Entertainment, so assistance can be found at the World of Warcraft Macintosh Forums.
The recorder has many options which can be accessed from the Mac Options submenu of the Game Menu . These Options are as follows:
Record the User Interface : the video records with the interface shown.
Record the Cursor : records the position of the cursor. Requires the User Interface to be recorded as well.
Record Sound : adds an audio track to the video, playing game sounds such as casting and emote speech

Has this feature since been removed?

Hey there,

I’m not familiar with the requested software, so it may have been depricated some time ago. However we do have a Blizzard Streaming feature which is similar!

Hope the info helps!

The screen video recording feature was deprecated when they rewrote the graphic subsystem to support the Metal API in Legion.

You can use Quicktime’s screen capture but it only captures video, not audio. For that you could use Soundflower or Loopback to reroute the audio stream from WoW into Quicktime to create a screen capture with sound.

Blizzard Streaming is not currently available for Mac® users.

One of the best features of Blizzard’s recording system for Mac OS was the ability to record game play without showing your UI. I really wish Blizzard would bring this feature back using Metal.

Also, how do we have Overwatch coming out for the Switch and not iOS / Mac OS?
