Any recommendations for a simple, reliable screen recorder for Mac. All I want to do is record some streaming lectures. I like transferring to my phone to watch again. QuickTime isn’t great. No easy timer.

I use OBS studio. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are settings that will allow you to reduce noise from your microphones, choose the input device, output quality, and so on. When I used to record online lectures, my settings produced near-HD videos, but file size was about ~10 GB for 1-hour videos.
