Does your mobile not have app screen? Download
Unfortunately, and due to that Google has not entered the recording screen as a default function in Android (yet), not all manufacturers added the possibility to record your phones. So, if you lack this feature, do not have more choice to download an app from Google Play.
There are many applications of this style. We have tested a good number of them, and one of our top recommendations will always be Rec. It is a free app, it has some ads, it offers an in-app purchase to remove them (to 2.69 euros), it includes a large number of options and it works very well on most phones. Yes, it is not perfect: due to the huge variety of Android devices, it may be the case that yours is not functioning correctly.
What you should keep in mind when you record the screen
- You must make sure that you have permission to record the screen. If you are having a conversation with someone, and that conversation is private, you need to consult with the other person before you start recording.
- Not always going to record correctly the sound. Google imposed restrictions on the microphone in the latest versions of Android, so that it will not be recorded to the audio calls or video calls. The image does not usually have problems.
- Not all apps allow the screen recording, not all manufacturers enable. Samsung, for example, does not let you record the screen (with the app of series) in the video: the recording stops.
- Adjusts the video quality and the bitrate (if available) to your requirements. If you record a game it is best to put a minimum of 1080p resolution, but if it is another application may not need such high quality. Remember that the video recordings take up a lot of space.
- The screen recordings are saved as videos in the gallery. When you stop recording you always get the file appears accessible in the notification bar: click on the notice and you will be able to play the last recording.
