For Mac users, there is no need to download other third-party screen recorders since QuickTime Player can act as a screen recorder and is pre-installed on Mac computers. But QuickTime only supports screen recording with the mic voice by default. To record video calls with internal or system audio at the same time, you need to install a virtual audio driver like BlackHole and configure it with your Microphone device as an aggregate device.
Here are the detailed steps:

Step 4: On the right panel, check the boxes for BlackHole 2ch and your microphone (be sure to select the entry that shows a number under the In column). Also, keep Drift Correction checked to ensure your microphone and computer audio stay synchronized.
Step 5: Click the + button again and select Create Multi-Output Device. Then rename it to Screen Recording Output.
Step 6: Check the boxes for your primary audio listening device (make sure it appears at the top of the list) and then BlackHole 2ch.
Step 7: Press Command + Space, open System Settings > Sound.
Step 8: Under Output, select Screen Recording Output.
Step 9: Launch QuickTime Player. Choose File > New Screen Recording from the top menu bar.
Step 10: Click Options and select Screen Recording Input as your audio source. You can then set the recording path, countdown time, or decide whether to enable the Show Mouse Click feature. Choose the mode Record Entire Screen or Record Selected Portion to select the recording area.
