I just bought my Mini Mac this week and I went into QuickTime player and there is no microphone. I then went to System preferences and privacy and to microphone but noting is listed as an app to select.

There's no internal mic on quicktime player I went to do a screen recording, but there was no audio. I went to see if there was any prompt for quicktime player to record the internal audio, but it only allows external audio as an option. I then opened an audio recording in quicktime player, but it only has external audio as an option, not internal. I then went on the apple website to see if there was any other solutions, but there wasn't anything of use. Apparently there's meant to be "display audio" as an option to access the internal mic, but for some reason, MacOS 12.3 must not have it. Another solution was to allow access to the internal mic via privacy and settings, but Quicktime player doesn't appear as an app that requires authorisation. If anyone has any solutions on how to access the internal mic without 3rd party extensions, please let me know.

Unable to grant permission to Quicktime. No lock icon. No Quicktime listed as option. I want to record videos on screen. Quicktime works but there is no audio. I am unable to give permission for Quicktime to use the microphone because there is no lock and Quicktime isn't listed as an option. I have Macbook Pro 16" 2019. I'm using Sonoma 14.0 software, but it didn't work on the previous software either. I understand that I have a quicktime PLAYER. But I can't find a Quicktime APP in the the apple store. I just want to play and record an instructional video on my screen with sound. I'm NOT making a video. I'm just trying to capture a video. I know it's possible because my friends have recorded the exact same video. Thanks!

The Mac mini has no microphone. As with the keyboard, mouse and display you have to provide a microphone. There are many USB and Blu-Tooth mics to choose from. A WebCam is a good choice as most of them have a mic included.
