How to screen record with internal audio on Android
Most Android phones have a built-in screen recorder you can access from the Quick Settings menu. Open it, make sure you toggle on audio capture before you hit record, and you're done. The steps are slightly different on Samsung vs Google Pixel phones, but both are simple.
Your phone can record everything on your screen plus the sound from apps, games, and videos. The recording tool is already built in. You just need to turn it on and make sure audio is set to capture before you hit record. Different Android phones have slightly different menus, but the idea is the same on all of them.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting to toggle on audio before hitting record. You end up with a silent video
- Turning on Microphone instead of Internal audio when you only want app sounds. You'll record yourself instead
- Not checking that you have enough storage space. The recording will fail if the phone is almost full
