There are times when taking a screenshot is not enough and you need a way enable phone audio and screen recording. How can you do so? The most sensible thing is to look for an app that allows you, but it certainly won't be necessary: as much as possible, your phone already contains a screen. It's a product that includes brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, OPPO or Realme, among many others.
Taking a screenshot on the phone is a worldwide phenomenon because all Android smartphones allow it (power button and volume down at the same time), but is it the same as screen recording? This action is not available worldwide on Android, and Google started installing it in version 11, which is currently in beta. However, many producers incorporate their own screen recording mode: either in the form of their own program or from quick settings or game mode.
How to record a screen on Samsung mobiles
For the manufacturer's interface, one UI (both versi on 1 and One UI 2.0) includes screen recording. This functionality is available both as a quick edit and within game mode, and in the form of an app itself (depending on the One UI). Let's take a look at how to record everything that is happening on your phone:
- Get the & # 39; Screen Recorder & # 39; When it's available, simply open it and click on the record icon whenever you want. After that the recording is complete and ready.

- In the event that the icon does not appear (or is not available to add), open Game Launcher & # 39;

Does your phone not have a screen app? Download
Unfortunately, and because Google has introduced screen recording as the default for Android (yet), not all producers add recording capabilities to their phones. So, if you lack this feature, you have no choice but to download the app from Google Play.
There are many applications of this style. We've tried a good number of them, and one of our best suggestions will always be on Rec. It's a free app, with some ads, offers in-app purchases to get rid of them (2.69 euros), includes many options and works best on the phone. Of course, it's not perfect: given the many types of Android devices, yours may not work properly.

What to do when recording a screen
- You must make sure you have permission to record the screen. If you are talking to someone, and that conversation is private, you should check with the other person before you start recording.
- Audio will not always be recorded properly. Google has limited the microphone to the latest version of Android, so the audio will not be recorded on phones or video. This image doesn't always have problems.
- Not all applications allow screen recording, not all manufacturers allow it. Samsung, for example, does not allow screen recording (via the serial app) for video calls: the recording stops.
- Adjust video quality and adapt it (if any) to your needs. When recording a game, it's best to set a minimum of 1080p in resolution, but if it's another option, you may need more quality. Keep in mind that video recording takes up a lot of space.
- Screen recordings are saved as videos in the gallery. When you stop recording, an accessible file always appears in the notification bar: click on a warning and you can play the latest recording.
