user: How do I set my Macbook Pro's resolution to 1280x720 without attaching a 2nd monitor? 13" Mid 2014 with Sierra
agent: Try setting that by following this article: Let us know if this helps.
user: I have read a couple of these kinds of articles, but I want this to work without having to attach a second monitor. I just want to set the resolution and then record my screen. And then upload to Youtube.
agent: Check these steps out from the article: Set the resolution for the primary display: Choose Apple menu &gt; System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display. Pick Scaled, then select one of the options. After Scaled, you should see the resolution you want.
user: In Scaled I can set the following resolutions: 1024x640, 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050.
agent: We missed that you were looking for 1280 x 720. We can get you to that resolution. Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard while you click on the Scaled option in the Display Setting. This will open up other options for you. Click 1280 x 720 here.
user: That button does nothing when I click it. It's just a dummy button. All those hidden options and buttons work when a second monitor is attached, but I don't always have access to an extra monitor. And also: that's just clumsy. In Windows this is no problem BTW.
agent: Pressing the button on its own will not do anything. However, if you press and hold Option and then click the little bubble to the immediate left of the word "Scaled", you should see the other options appear.
user: It won't show other options. It will only show the 4 standard options. And this "Recognize Monitors" button doesn't do anything either.
agent: Okay. Let's move to DM and we can continue there.
