Thankfully, Android 11 recently introduced a screen recorder to Google’s mobile operating system, and some Android 10 smartphones like Samsung, LG, and OnePlus have their own variations of the function. In this article, we’ll show you how these screen recording options work. We’ll also show you other options you have available to use if you’re working with an older Android device.
Use the Android Screen Recorder
The technique for screen recording is generally the same across different types of Android devices, with a few modifications here and there. Basically, take note of the following:
Slide the notification shade down from the top of your screen to display the quick settings options. Give the device permission to record the screen by tapping the Screen Recorder icon (keep in mind that you may have to modify the default icons that show up). Decide if you want sounds to be recorded or not, then adjust settings accordingly. When you select Start recording, a countdown will start before a toolbar displays, then the recording will begin.
You may activate your front-facing camera, reduce the toolbar, scribble on the screen, halt the recording, or stop it altogether. You can also reposition the selfie window and toolbar to wherever you want on the screen. The video you record will be saved to your phone’s media storage when a recording is stopped. Simply long-press the Screen Recorder fast settings icon if you want access to further settings.
