Owing to the ongoing pandemic, blended learning will be used to teach my modules. As part of this, I will be producing lecture recordings for my students. However, the Desktop on my MacBook is a little messy (read: files everywhere), and that does not looks great on a recording. There is a simple way to hide the contents of the Desktop.
Open Terminal and type:
- defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false
- killAll Finder
Once you have finished your recording and want to show the Desktop files again, repeat the above but switch false for true.
