How to record your screen on Android

Whether you want to capture a tutorial for your YouTube channel, document a gameplay session or troubleshoot a technical issue, screen recording on your smartphone can be a powerful and useful tool.

Fortunately, recent advancements in technology have ensured that this feature is readily available on most Android phones and tablets. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of how to screen record on Android, step by step.

How to record your screen on Android

Before you begin, ensure that your device is running the latest OS, which currently is Android 14.

Most modern Android versions, like Android 11 and above, come with built-in screen recording capabilities.

However, if you’re using an older version, you may need to download a third-party screen recording app from the Google Play Store.

If you’re using a compatible Android version, you can typically find the screen recording feature in the Quick Settings panel.

Swipe down from the top of your screen to access Quick Settings, then look for the “Screen Record” icon.

If you don’t see it, you may need to customise your Quick Settings to add the screen recording option.
