Part 2: 2 Built-in Ways to Record Safari Browser on Mac

Now that you have discovered the best way to record video from the browser (Safari), it’s time to explore the Mac default ways to record videos on the Safari browser.

1. Utilize Mac’s Screenshot Toolbar Feature

The first way that you can use to record Safari is through the use of Mac’s built-in Screenshot Toolbar . You can record any on-screen videos on Safari browsers by pressing key combinations and a few option clicks. However, only use this feature if your Mac runs macOS Mojave or newer. In case it does run the said macOS, perform the following steps below showing you how to record video from the browser:

Step 1. Access the content you wish to record on your Mac’s "Safari" browser. After that, on your keyboard, press "Shift + Command + 5" keys to bring up the "Screenshot Toolbar".

Step 2. Next, choose whether to record the "entire screen" of your browser or a "specific portion". Then, highlight the area you want to record and click the "Record" button.

Step 3. Then, the recording process will start immediately. Once you are done recording the content, click the "Stop" button on the menu bar at the upper left corner of your screen.

Step 4. To preview the recorded file, click the "Thumbnail" button on the lower left corner of your screen. Click the "Play" and "Done" buttons once you are satisfied with it.

2. Use QuickTime to Record videos on Safari

If the above recommendation to record Safari doesn’t apply because of having an older macOS version, then QuickTime could work for you. QuickTime is infused with the ability to record any on-screen activities. If you use QuickTime to record a video on the Mac Safari browser for the first time, you might need to permit it before using it to record your browser. If you can permit it, follow the steps below on how to record video from the browser:

Needledrop: A Turntable Interface for Music Playback

My latest experiment is Needledrop , a turntable interface for playing music from YouTube. Enjoy chill vibes as you spin a virtual vinyl of your favorite album from YouTube. You can try it for yourself here:

With Needledrop, I went for the Dieter Rams school of design. It’s inspired by unapologetically skeuomorphic interfaces like Apple’s original Podcasts app, which featured a reel-to-reel tape machine. While I preferred the digitally native approach of Overcast for day-to-day use, Apple’s approach was visually striking.

Photo by Jonathan Greene

Podcast’s interface wasn’t just veneer; the reels would progress as the podcast did, providing a subtle visual cue alongside the progress bar. Likewise in Needledrop, the tone arm travels across the record.

But Needledrop takes the interactivity one step further. Drop the needle and find your favorite track, more or less. It’s fuzzy and inexact, and emphasizes the continuous listening experience an album can be.

Pick Your Track

Click the “Track” button, paste the link to your favorite album from YouTube, and it’ll load on the platter. You can bookmark the URL for easy access and share it with friends.

A few quick picks:

Beach House – Bloom
Clairo – Best Of
Joji – Nectar
Radiohead – A Moon Shaped Pool
Tyler the Creator – Flower Boy

Singles and podcasts work, and streams like lofi hip hop radio sorta work. And of course the needle drop .

Fun fact: podcasts have actually been pressed on vinyl .

Skeuomorphic Effects in CSS

Of course this post wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t geek out on implementation details.

First, to achieve spinning record, the following CSS animation was used. The 1.8 second duration corresponds with 33 1/3 rpm.

To pause the animation when the “Stop” button is tapped, I first tried animation: none; . I quickly noticed that when you resume play, the animation will reset and the record jumps back to its initial position. To smooth out the animation, use this instead:

Needledrop can switch between 33 and 45 rpm. When changing the animation duration to account for this, I ran into a similar problem with the spinning animation being jerky. This happened even if I used a CSS variable like animation-duration: var(--duration); .

To work around this, I nested two elements. When the mode is changed to 45 rpm, the second element activates a spin animation as well. After some quick maths, I set the duration of the second spin to 5.1428 seconds.

I also offset the rotation slightly with transform-origin , creating a slight wobble effect.

To finish the record’s styles, I added grooves with:

I also gave it a shine by positioning an element over the record with a conic background. A separate element was used so the shine wouldn’t rotate with the record.

To move the arm of the record player, I used transform: rotate(45deg); and set a transition delay, calculating how long it should take for the arm to reach its final position in JavaScript.

YouTube API

Needledrop is built using the YouTube Player API .

The API makes it easy to speed up the video when set to 45 rpm, among other things:

Of course when you’re using a third-party API, you’re beholden to their terms of service. In this case, the key sections of Google’s TOS are:

You and your API Clients must not, and must not encourage, enable, or require others to: 6. modify, build upon, or block any portion or functionality of a YouTube player; 7. separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available as part of, or in connection with, YouTube API Services. For example, you must not apply alternate audio tracks to videos; 8. promote separately the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available as part of, or in connection with, the YouTube API Services; 9. create, include, or promote features that play content, including audio or video components, from a background player, meaning a player that is not displayed in the page, tab, or screen that the user is viewing;

So yeah. Hiding the video so only the audio track is used was definitely out. To the label it goes. As for the rest, we’re probably pushing it.

Anyway, much of digital design is influenced by its analog analogue. It was fun to bring that to the foreground with Needledrop.

As far as next steps, stay tuned for YouTube playlist and Spotify support.

Super fun! Thank you. Wish the clipping worked in Safari. Perhaps add to #record-inner…

overflow: hidden; border-radius: 50%;

3. March 2021 @ 2:11 pm

Thanks for the bug report. Your styles do the trick but unfortunately obscures part of the inner border.

-webkit-mask-image seems to have fixed it. Stack Overflow to the rescue!

8. March 2021 @ 11:11 am

Remember http://www.twoyoutubevideosandamotherfuckingcrossfader.com ? Now that would be worth reviving.

8. March 2021 @ 11:51 am

Love everything about this.

30. March 2021 @ 9:51 pm

This is a neat idea and execution!

That aside, not gonna lie, I was looking for a grain effect toggle.

Good work! I want to know what my dad thinks of it.

12. December 2022 @ 4:26 pm

Love this! Could you give us some more graphical options, as an example http://mytypewriter.org/ (another retro virtual simulation) gives several options for appearance

23. December 2022 @ 3:32 pm

Loved this post. I am looking forward to more options.

26. September 2023 @ 8:39 am

As far as tracks, you can use this with any YouTube video by clicking the Track button and pasting in your link.

A froggy jumped on to the turntable. I really enjoyed froggy css game. Thanks!

26. September 2023 @ 4:24 am

THERE IS NO SOUND. WHY CAN’T I HEAR THE MUSIC? THERE IS NO SOUND WHEN I CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO? I THINK YOUR PLAYER IS BROKEN. CAN YOU LOOK INTO IT FOR ME? I’M USING EDGE WITH NO BLOCKERS AND NO RESTRICTIONS. IT’S REALLY ANNOYING.

26. September 2023 @ 8:41 am

To start the turntable, click the Start – Stop button. This should get the record spinning. Then drag the needle onto the record.

I just tested on Edge/Mac and it’s working on my end.

6. November 2023 @ 9:54 pm

Fun. The 45 speed acts as a time compressor vs a speed changer. Which is to say, the pitch doesn’t change with the “speed change”, which is different from what would happen on a real turntable. But… if the primary utility for this is to play podcasts, that makes functional sense.

25. November 2023 @ 10:33 am

Can you make an offline one of these to play mp3s with?

1. January 2024 @ 9:10 am

I would really love it if we could have the option to play Youtube playlists where each track is one of the videos in the playlist. A lot of the albums are in that format. Really cool project tho!
