9:16 screen recording on Mac for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Record your Mac screen once and export it as 9:16 vertical video (1080×1920) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Glisio's auto-zoom follows your clicks so the important part of a wide screen stays in the vertical frame.

Why vertical screen recordings usually look bad
A Mac display is 16:10 or 16:9. Squeezing it into 9:16 either shrinks the UI to unreadable or crops the action out. Auto-zoom fixes that: the camera moves to where you click, so the vertical frame shows the button, not the empty sidebar.
How to make a 9:16 screen recording on Mac
1. Record display, window, or region in Glisio.
2. In the editor, switch the canvas to 9:16. Auto-zoom segments carry over.
3. Add captions and a webcam layout if you want a face-cam.
4. Export 1080×1920 MP4. Switch back to 16:9 for YouTube from the same project.
