Apple - How can I show typing keyboard in record screen

I also use Screenflow, but there are also a few standalone apps for that like Keycastr and Mouseposé.


You could try showing the on-screen keyboard:

This is obviously a very different aesthetic than shown the OP's screenshot, but if it meets your needs, here's how you do it:

Instructions for macOS High Sierra (and probably others)

  • Menu > System Preferences… > Keyboard
  • ☑️Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar
  • If you don't see a flag in your menu bar yet:
    • Switch to the Input Sources tab
    • ☑️Show input menu in menu bar Show input menu in menu bar
  • Click on the input menu & select Show Keyboard Viewer Show Keyboard Viewer

I’m recording lots of tutorial videos / screencasts for my YouTube channel and was very unhappy with existing solutions for displaying keystrokes on macOS. So I’ve made my own keystroke app:

Features:

  • Animated keystrokes look gorgeous in light and dark
  • Works great with macOS Mojave
  • Individual designed keys for common ISO and ANSI keyboard layouts
  • Localized for 23 languages
