Screen recording not saving on my MacBook Pro

I am trying to capture video from soccer matches which I've done 1000 times in the past. Today I made several attempts doing to same thing I always do and it's not working. It shows as recording but when I stop the record, it is not saved anywhere. I have enough storage and my software is up-to-date. Thoughts?

It could be a permissions issue. Have you tried this with a screenshot and see if it is working? Press Cmd + Shift + 3 and see if you can find the file on your drive.


Secondly, how exactly are you capture video? Is it via QuickTime Player or are you using Cmd + Shift + 5 ?


You may try QuickTime and specifically save the file to a location of your choice. You can do that by:

  • Open QuickTime Player
  • Go to File > New Screen Recording
  • When you're done recording, save the file via File > Save


Hope this works out for you. :-)
