3. Mac OS: Put yourself in a game video

Gamers, not matter they are Windows users or Mac users, are always preferable to post their gameplay videos to YouTube in order to display cool skills and tricks of every race, level or victory. And it’s more creative and attractive to stream the gameplay with themselves in the video. However, many people can find a solution for Windows but there seem very few tools are available for Mac OS computer. Here I recommend Apowersoft Mac Screen Recorder and it can works on Mac perfectly.
