Steps
Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to open the full Quick Settings panel.
Look for a Screen recorder tile. If you do not see it, tap the pencil or edit icon and drag the tile into your active panel.
Tap the Screen recorder tile to start. Choose whether to record sound, such as media or your microphone, if the phone asks.
Tap Start recording, then accept the privacy prompt. A countdown may appear before capture begins.
Open the app or screen you want to record and do your task. A small red timer or notification shows recording is active.
Swipe down and tap the Stop button on the recorder notification when you are done.
Open your gallery or the Photos app and check the Screenshots or Screen recordings folder for the saved video.
Tips and common mistakes
Turn on Do Not Disturb before recording so notifications do not pop up in the video.
Record in landscape if you plan to share the clip on YouTube or a TV.
Keep clips short and delete old recordings to save storage space.
Some apps block screen recording for privacy, so the video may show a black screen.
Questions
Where do screen recordings save on Android?
They usually go to your gallery in a Screen recordings or Screenshots folder. You can also find them in your file manager under Movies or DCIM.
Why is there no Screen recorder tile on my phone?
Your Android version or phone brand may not include it. Check the Quick Settings edit menu first, then look for a recorder in your phone maker's own app.
Can I record internal audio?
Many recent Android phones let you record media sound. If the option is missing, the recorder will only capture your microphone or no sound at all.
