2. Use the Search Bar:

- Mac: Use Finder (Command + Space) to navigate through your files.
4. Check Specific Recording Software:
- Screen Recording Software: If you used screen recording software like OBS Studio, Camtasia, or QuickTime, check the software's settings or output folder.
- Webcam Software: If you recorded a video using your webcam, look for the software's default save location.
5. Look for Recent Files:
- Windows: Open File Explorer and click "This PC" to view recently accessed files.
- Mac: Open Finder and click "Recents" in the sidebar.
6. Check Cloud Storage:
