How can I show typing keyboard in record screen

When I record the screen on a Mac, how can I show keyboard typing in the same image (as shown below)?

Is there particular screen recording software or settings that will do this?

Solution 1:

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

Solution 2:

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
• If you don't see a flag in your menu bar yet:
  • Switch to the Input Sources tab
  • ☑️Show input menu in menu bar
• Click on the input menu & select Show Keyboard Viewer

Solution 3:

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

Solution 4:

I believe this is a part of Screenflow, which costs $99, but does have a trial available.

OS X does have a limited ability to do this, but it only shows modifier keys, like Shift, Ctrl, Command, etc. If you're interested in that, it's in System Preferences > Universal Access, under the Keyboard tab. Turn sticky keys on, and then push "Display pressed keys on screen". I don't think that's what you want, but you can check that out as well.
